AUTHENTIC SWEDISH PANCAKES



Authentic Swedish Pancakes image

This is an authentic Swedish pancake recipe that was taught to my father by his mother, who was born in Sweden. My father then passed it to me. Kids love them. Never any leftovers when I make them. To serve, you can spoon melted butter over pancakes and sprinkle with sugar, or serve with lingonberry sauce. You can also use the batter to make crepes.

Time 25m

Yield 12 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups whole milk
3 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Confectioners' sugar, maple syrup and fresh fruit, for garnish

Steps:

  • Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet. Combine the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla and salt in a blender; process until smooth.
  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Warm the same skillet over medium heat until a drop of water bounces and sizzles. Add 1 teaspoon butter; turn to coat the pan with the melted butter. Pour in a scant 1/3 cup batter and quickly swirl the pan to evenly coat the bottom. Cook until the pancake sets, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, carefully lift the pancake by the edges and flip; cook until lightly golden on the other side, 15 to 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate; keep warm in the oven while making the others. Repeat with the remaining butter and batter to make about 12 pancakes. If the pancakes seem too thick, thin the batter slightly with warm water. Fold or roll and serve with confectioners' sugar, syrup and fresh fruit.

SWEDISH PANCAKES



Swedish Pancakes image

Smaller and thinner than their American counterparts, Swedish pancakes are quite tender and comparable in texture to French crepes. If you don't have a Swedish pancake pan, cook the pancakes in a nonstick pan.

Yield Makes about sixty 3-inch pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 large eggs
2 cups milk
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Confectioners' sugar, for garnish (optional)
Fruit, such as raspberries, strawberries, or sliced melon, for garnish (optional)
Jam, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine eggs with 1/2 cup milk. Process until completely smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Stop the food processor and add flour. Process again until smooth and thick, 1 to 2 minutes. Add remaining milk, butter, granulated sugar, vanilla, and salt.
  • Heat Swedish pancake pan over medium. Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of batter into each circle. Cook until the edges turn golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip with a fork, and continue cooking 1 to 2 minutes more. (To cook pancakes without a Swedish pancake pan, use a buttered nonstick pan and spoon 1 tablespoon batter per pancake. Pancakes will be less regular in shape.)
  • Serve with confectioners' sugar, fresh fruit, and jam as desired.

Tips:

  • Use the right ingredients: Make sure you have all the necessary ingredients and measure them accurately. Fresh, high-quality ingredients will yield the best results.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough pancakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and there are still a few small lumps.
  • Let the batter rest: Letting the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking allows the gluten to relax, which results in lighter, fluffier pancakes.
  • Use a hot griddle: A hot griddle is essential for cooking pancakes. If the griddle is not hot enough, the pancakes will stick and won't cook evenly.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat: Cooking the pancakes over medium heat prevents them from burning and allows them to cook through evenly.
  • Flip the pancakes only once: Flipping the pancakes too often can result in them breaking. Flip them only once, when bubbles form around the edges and the bottom is golden brown.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately: Swedish pancakes are best served immediately, while they are still hot and fluffy.

Conclusion:

Swedish pancakes are a delicious and versatile breakfast or brunch dish. They can be served with a variety of toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream. With the right ingredients and techniques, you can easily make fluffy, delicious Swedish pancakes at home.
