Sift dry ingredients together.
Beat eggs until light and fluffy. Add milk alternately with dry ingredients, a little at a time. Add oil and mix thoroughly. Let stand at room temperature for 2-3 hours or in the refrigerator, overnight.
To make pancakes: Preheat a cast iron, 6 inch skillet or a Swedish "plattpan", with several circular indentations. Skillet will be ready when a drop of water "sizzles" on it and a pat of butter will melt, but not burn.
Grease skillet or plattpan lightly with butter. Pour enough batter onto pan to completely cover the flat surface. After about 1-2 minutes, check to see if pancake can be turned over by gently loosening edge all around with a small metal spatula. If lightly browned underneath, pancake may be turned over.
Repeat until all batter is used. Keep finished pancakes warm in a 200 degree F. oven.
Serve with Swedish lingonberries or other favorite preserves, or a sprinkling of sugar.
Serves 3-4.
