Swedish thin pancakes have been a family favorite for generations, passed down through the years from Grandma's recipe book. These pancakes are unique because of their thin, crepe-like texture which makes them soft, light, and perfect for stacking. They make a great breakfast or brunch item and can be served with everything from butter and syrup to fresh berries and whipped cream. The key to success with this recipe is to keep the pancakes thin and cook them quickly over high heat, ensuring that they stay tender and golden brown.

Instructions

1.	In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until frothy.
2.	Slowly add in the oil, flour, sugar, and salt, mixing well until smooth.
3.	Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the batter into the skillet. Swirl it around to create a thin, even layer.
4.	Cook the pancake for about 1 to 2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown.
5.	Using a spatula, flip the pancake and cook for another minute on the other side until golden brown.
6.	Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet between each pancake if necessary.
