Prepare your swedish pancakes - Blend all ingredients in a blender*** until smooth. Allow to rest in the fridge for one hour. Batter will be thick.
Pre-heat a non-stick pan or cast iron skillet on medium low.
One quarter cup at a time, pour batter into the center of the pan. Using the back of a spoon, quickly spread batter as thin as possible. Flip pancake when the surface of the batter is no longer glossy. Cook the second side until well browned. Repeat with rest of batter.
Prepare your sauce - melt butter on medium low in a small 1 Qt saucepan until milk solids just begin to brown. Add figs, maple syrup and salt. Bring to a low boil and remove from heat.
Assemble - Roll each pancake with cut-up fresh figs inside. Pour warm fig sauce over top and serve.
