Ingrid spotted these mini-pancakes at the supermarket that looked just like the quark pancakes we had in Estonia. I think we both knew these wouldn’t be as good, even before opening the package, but some part of us still hoped. And of course they were nothing like the Estonian ones. The Estonian quark pancakes (which even came in several varieties, like one with banana and one with oats, I believe) were delicious enough to eat as a snack straight from the bag. These quarkless Swedish ones were bland even after heating. The quark makes a difference, of course, but store-bought Swedish pancakes are also always disappointing compared to home-made ordinary pancakes. I don’t know what they do with them – or what they don’t do. Skimp on butter and fry them in oil?
