Pancakes have a long history of being consumed on Thursdays in Sweden. Since the 1700s medieval families (who had the means) would eat all their nicer food on a Thursday. Meats were only allowed to be eaten on Thursdays by the Catholics of the day. Fridays were a day of fasting and so they'd fill up on meat and pea soup in wealthier homes. Pancakes were a popular dessert as they were a luxurious treat as white flour, eggs, lard and fry pans were commodities. The religious connection is long gone for most households but the tradition has still stuck over the centuries. Instructions: 1. Mix the flour with half the milk until smooth. 2. Add the remaining milk, eggs and salt. 3. Leave to rest minimum 10 minutes. 4. Melted the butter on medium/high and mix into the batter. 5. Fry in the already hot pan - making thin pancakes. I prefer using a smaller pan as I find it easier to flip. And I've found that making 2/3rds of the batter is just the perfect amount...
