Mothers everywhere deserve a celebration and a Thank You, Mom. What is a celebration without a meal that’s a bit special? We thought you’d enjoy a different twist on a breakfast favorite that you could also serve as Brunch, lunch or even dessert! Pancakes. Not thick, heavy pancakes, these Swedish Pancakes are light and thin as a tortilla and twice as delicious. Fill them with fruit sauce, like apple or blueberry or with creamy vanilla sauce, or even ice cream. Mouth-watering, healthy, and easy.
While enjoying the taste, you will be getting lots of protein and calcium from the pancakes while the blueberry syrup gives you a boost of nutrition. Fiber for your digestive system, potassium to support normal blood pressure, vitamins B, C and K as well as antioxidants for a strong and healthy immune system. As a mom, you know the importance of staying strong and healthy.
Swedish pancakes are easy to make. You might even get your children or husband to make them and give you a break from the kitchen (now, that would be a treat).
In a bowl, mix the following with a whisk.
4 eggs
2 cups milk
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons melted butter.
Batter will be thin. Pre-heat a medium non-stick frying pan. If using a regular frying pan, add a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
Pour a thin layer of batter on heated pan and spread to edges. Cook until the top surface appears dry. Flip with a spatula. Cook for another 2 minutes, or until golden brown. Roll each pancake up and serve with fruit or fill the pancake and then roll-up. Delightful either way.

Recipe: Blueberry Sauce
Whole blueberries float in the sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
INGREDIENTS:
3 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch dissolved into 3 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
TO MAKE:
Place 1 ½ cups blueberries in a small saucepan. Cover with water and add sugar and vanilla. Heat over medium-high heat until mixture comes to a low boil and blueberries just start to break apart.
Add dissolved cornstarch to saucepan and bring mixture to a rolling boil. Turn heat down and simmer on low heat for 2-3 minutes, or until sauce reaches desired consistency. Add water, one tablespoon at a time, if the sauce gets too thick.
Remove from heat. Add remaining blueberries and stir gently. Serve warm or cold.
