Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Additional butter for cooking
Toppings (optional)
- Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
- Maple syrup or lingonberry jam
- Whipped cream
- Powdered sugar
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using) to the eggs, and whisk until smooth.
-
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. The batter will be thin, similar to a crepe batter.
Step 2: Heat the Pan
- Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to the pan and let it melt, coating the surface evenly.
Step 3: Cook the Pancakes
-
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the hot pan. Quickly tilt and swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.
-
Cook the pancake for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly golden.
-
Carefully flip the pancake using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
-
Transfer the cooked pancake to a plate and cover it with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
Step 4: Serve
- Stack the pancakes on a serving plate. Serve warm with your choice of toppings, such as fresh berries, maple syrup, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.
Enjoy!
These Swedish pancakes are best enjoyed fresh and warm. They can also be made ahead of time and reheated in a skillet or microwave. Enjoy your delicious Swedish pancakes
