Grandma Walton's Swedish Pancakes

Grandma and Grandpa Walton served a mission in Sweden.  This is a recipe they brought back from their Swedish days. 

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups white flour

3 tablespoons sugar

½ teaspoon salt

3 medium eggs

2 cups milk

2 tablespoons oil or melted butter 

Directions:

Combine all ingredients. Beat until smooth. Grease a medium frying pan on medium-high heat. Pour about 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter into the pan with one hand. With the other, lift the pan up and tilt it in all directions, swirling batter so it covers the bottom of the pan in a very thin layer. Work quickly, before the batter cooks too much to swirl. Return to heating unit. Cook crepe until bottom is browned. Loosen edge with spatula. Brown other side. Remove from pan to stack of already cooked crepes. Makes about 16 crepes.

Homemade Herbed Croutons

I love flavorful croutons. These could even be made out of artisan bread or Texas toast.. For special occasions I like to cut them a few of the slices of bread into shapes, and mix them with the cubes.  You can make a lot and freeze them.  Toast on a cookie sheet to thaw.  Let cool and serve.

Ingredients:

5-6 slices of bread

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons butter or bacon drippings

1 garlic clove (crushed)

1/4 teaspoon basil

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon thyme

1/4 teaspoon rosemary

Optional-

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions:

Cube or cut into shapes (mini hearts or stars) the slices of bread. Dry bread.  Mix oil, butter, and saute garlic in a large skillet. Turn off heat. Toss in herbs.  Mix bread, cheese, and sesame seeds.  Toss bread mixture into herb mixture until well coated. Spread on cookie sheet and bake in 300 degree oven until toasted brown, about 25 minutes.
