SWEDISH PANCAKES. 3 eggs. 1 1/4 cups milk. 3/4 cup flour. 1 tablespoon sugar (see Note) 1/2 teaspoon salt. Vegetable oil. Beat eggs thoroughly and whisk in the milk.

You can also roll the dough into small thin logs and wrap it around until it forms a coil. Bake the cookies until very lightly browned on the bottom. The top will remain a light color.
