NORWEGIAN PANCAKES ARE QUITE DIFFERENT FROM AMERICAN PANCAKES. THEY ARE NOT LEAVENED AT ALL AND ARE MORE LIKE A COMBINATION OF A FRENCH CRÊPE AND A THIN OMELET. LIKE CRÊPES, THEY CAN BE SERVED EITHER AS A DESSERT OR AS A SAVORY DISH. IT ALSO QUITE COMMON TO SERVE PANCAKES WITH STRAWBERRIES OR BLUEBERRIES AND SUGAR FOR DINNER.

MY FATHER IS A MASTER PANCAKE MAKER, AND WHEN I WAS A CHILD, WE HAD PANCAKES FOR DINNER ONCE A WEEK.
