Swedish pancake | Martin of Sweden

Imagine waking up on a sunny Sunday morning, the smell of freshly cooked pancakes wafting through the house. There’s something incredibly comforting about pancakes, and Swedish pancakes, with their delicate, crepe-like texture, take this comfort to a whole new level.

Ingredients

For 4 servings, you will need:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Butter or oil for the pan
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries, whipped cream, syrup, powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, sugar, and salt until smooth. The batter should be thin and free of lumps.
  2. Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with butter or oil.
  3. Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling to spread it evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip carefully and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  4. Serve: Transfer the pancake to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Tips and Tricks

  • Consistency is Key: Ensure your batter is smooth and thin for the best results. If it’s too thick, add a little more milk.
  • Keep Them Warm: Place cooked pancakes in a warm oven (about 200°F) to keep them warm while you finish cooking the rest.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Try adding a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the batter for a unique twist.
