RITA'S SWEDISH PANCAKES

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor, combine eggs with 1/2 cup milk. Process until completely smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Stop the food processor, and add flour. Process once again until smooth and thick, 1 to 2 minutes. Add remaining 1 1/2 cups milk, butter, granulated sugar, vanilla, and salt.
• Heat Swedish-pancake pan over medium heat. Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of batter into each circle. Cook until the edges turn golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip with a fork, and continue cooking an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Serve warm, garnished with confectioners' sugar.

SWEDISH PANCAKES WITH BERRY-CARDAMOM TOPPING

Steps:

• For pancakes:.
• Blend eggs and 1/3 cup milk in processor until smooth. Add flour, ground cardamom and salt and process until mixture is thick and smooth. With machine running, add remaining 2/3 cup milk, 1/3 cup half and half and 3 tablespoons melted butter and mix batter until smooth. (Pancake batter can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Cover tightly and refrigerate.)For topping:.
• Combine raspberries, blackberries, sugar and ground cardamom in medium bowl. Mix together gently. Let mixture stand until berries are juicy, stirring occasionally, at least 30 minutes. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 200°F Place oven-proof platter in oven. Heat heavy large griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Brush griddle with melted butter. Working in batches, add batter to skillet, using 1 tablespoonful for each pancake. Cook until pancakes are brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to platter in oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter, brushing with more butter as needed.
• Place pancakes on plates. Spoon berry topping over and serve.

SWEDISH POTATO PANCAKES (RAGGMUNK)

Steps:

• Peel, rinse and grate the raw potatoes into a bowl of very cold water. (If you're starting this the night before, cover bowl and refrigerate potatoes in the water til morning.).
• Drain potato shreds in a wire mesh strainer or colander and using your hands, press as much moisture out as possible. Cover with a paper towel and set aside.
• Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, pepper and one cup of the milk to make a smooth batter.
• Add the grated onion, eggs and remaining milk, if needed to make a slightly thin batter. Whisk until combined.
• Stir the potato shreds into the batter.
• Heat griddle or large frying pan to about 350°F and rub the griddle with a thin coat of canola oil (I use a paper towel to do this & you may need to reapply between each batch).
• When oil is hot, pour 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto the griddle and cook until golden on the bottom. Flip pancake over and cook until golden on that side.
• Serve with sour cream & chives or lingonberry jam.
