Ole's Swedish Hotcakes
This recipe is from Innkeeper, Cally Dym at Little River Inn, Mendocino, California. It's a family recipe that's been handed down through many generations originating from Sweden! Her husband, Chef Marc Dym, is the Executive Chef for the Inn and made these delectable hotcakes for us. It was so good, we wanted the recipe!
Here's a taste of Sweden coming to you from one of the most beautiful regions in the country. Mendocino literally sits right on the rugged coastline with breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. These delicious hotcakes will send your senses to the area known as "the edge of the earth."

So awesome they were willing to share the recipe with you and your followers. Will definitely try. My former company was headquartered in Finland. For one team-building event they took us to a cooking class to learn how to make crepes. So good!
