Thin, buttery, and crepe-like, Swedish Pancakes are a Scandinavian classic served with lingonberry jam, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit for a comforting and elegant breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 12 tablespoons butter (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Heat a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Add a small pat of butter to coat.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, beat eggs and milk, then whisk into the dry mixture. Stir in melted butter until smooth.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Once the pan is hot, add a small amount of butter to prevent sticking.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the skillet, quickly swirling to spread it thin.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Cook 1–2 minutes until edges are golden and center is set, then flip carefully and cook 30–60 seconds on the other side.
  6. Finishing Touches: Stack pancakes on a warm plate, covering loosely with foil to keep them soft.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Dust with powdered sugar, serve with lingonberry jam, or top with fresh berries and whipped cream.

Notes

  • Rest the batter for 20–30 minutes for best results.
  • Use a nonstick skillet to ensure easy flipping.
  • Keep pancakes warm in the oven while cooking the rest.
  • Try savory fillings like ham and cheese for variety.
