Leilas American Pancakes

My family are in town from Sweden and this morning
we decided to make them a big good ol' American
breakfast with scrambled eggs, sausage,
bacon, toast and of course pancakes. yum.

This recipe is actually from a Swedish chef/baker
called Leila Lindholm, she is my baking hero and every single
recipe of hers I've tried has turned out un-freakin-believable.
Ok, back to the pancakes.. plain and simple: they are a m a z i n g
and way better than any recipes I've found
in any American cookbook.


8 Pancakes
3.5 dl (1.5cups) flour
2 tsp baking powder
0.2 tsp salt
2 tbs sugar
2 tsp vanilla sugar (or 1tsp liquid vanilla extract)
2 tbs melted butte
2.5 dl (1 cup) milk (not fatfree!)
1 egg


Mix your dry ingredients. In a separate bowl mix milk, egg
and butter. Mix the liquid with the flour mixture until smooth.
Fry on medium heath until golden brown. Serve with your favorite
pancake topping (I had mine with swedish blueberry jam
and whipped cream. mmm).

This chocolate cheesecake will have you go O M G.
It's amazing and you better make it for a large group

if not you'll keep running back and fort to the fridge

until soft and smooth. Add vanilla and
eggs (one at a time) and blend

5.) Take a 9-10' springform pan and
evenly divide the cookie crumbs all
over the bottom and up along the sides.
