Been making this in my family for decades, it got written down in '86 but it's way older.
It's also a good base if you want to get fancy. Add blueberries, or chocolate chips.
Put a teaspoon of cardamom in the batter for that Swedish pancake taste. (a little goes a LONG way here, be careful!)
Should update it to one tps/tsp (teaspoon) of salt before people start making salty inedible discs!
One tablespoon in what amounts to about a gallon of batter is about right.
The picture you posted shows "1 tps of salt" but "tbs" (tablespoons) of baking soda
tsp = teaspoon
tbsp = tablespoon
1 tbsp = 3 tsp
I've been making pancakes from scratch and the golden ratio is 1/4 tsp per cup of flour.
The recipe you posted uses 4 cups of flour which would be 1/4 tsp * 4 = 1 tsp = 1/3 tbsp
Believe me, anything more and it turns out very salty. Even when I use salted butter I have to decrease the salt to avoid salty pancakes (I use melted butter instead of oil).
