Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium carrots (1-1½ cups shredded) 3dl
  • 2 eggs
  • cup milk 3,6 dl
  • 1 cup wheat flour 2,4 dl
  • 2 teaspoon sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon butter or oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Wash and peel your carrots. Cut away the ends and shred them with a grater on a chopping board; use the small holes on the grater.
  • Put the shredded carrot in a big bowl. Add in the eggs and milk. Give it a whisk.
  • Mix in another bowl the flour, salt, and sugar. If you want some fluffiness to your pancakes, add also 1 teaspoon of baking powder.
  • Add the flour with the carrot-milk mix and give it a whisk. Add also rest of the milk.
  • Let the batter rest for 10-30 minutes.
  • Fry your pancakes on medium heat. Put some oil or butter on the pan and pour ¼ cup of batter to make 8-10 inch pancakes or 2-3 tablespoons for small 3-inch pancakes.
  • Turn the pancakes when they have some color and are set on the edges.

Notes

The batter amount makes 25, 3-inch small pancakes. You need a special pancake pan since the batter is runnier than traditional American  batter. 
You can make bigger pancakes with an 8-10 inch pan. 
If you want some fluffiness to the pancakes, add 1-2 teaspoon of baking powder. 
For a savory pancake batter, you can add 1 teaspoon of black pepper or white pepper. 
Serving suggestions:
Smoked salmon/tuna with creme fraiche, onion, and dill
Lingonberry jam and fried chanterelles with onion, garlic, and black pepper. 
For sweet pancakes that taste like carrot cake, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla sugar, 2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Serve with roasted nuts, condensed milk, or/and cream cheese that has sugar and vanilla added. 
The pancakes store for up to 3-4 days in the fridge. They can be frozen for up to 3 months.
