Sunny British Summer days mean lots of picnics! Do you have a picnic planned with your little ones? You might be wondering, “what should I bring to a picnic with kids?” or “What is the best kids picnic food?”
This week we’re sharing our favourite Swedish inspired picnic recipes served either hot or cold.Keep reading for our top 3 kids picnic recipes:
1. Swedish Pancakes

Ingredients:
8 tablespoons of unsalted butter1 ¾ cups whole milk
3 large eggs
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
Method:
Melt the butter then combine the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla and salt in a big bowl until smooth.Heat a large frying pan with some vegetable oil or butter to coat the bottom of the pan.
For each pancake simply pour out ¼ cup batter into the pan on medium hear and wait for 1 minute per side (or until golden brown).
Filling ideas:
For sweet, we recommend cutting up bananas and berries then dusting with icing sugar before rolling up the pancake. For something savoury why pair cooked tomatoes and mushrooms with ham and cheese?
