PLäTTAR MED LINGON - SWEDISH PANCAKES WITH LINGONBERRIES
As one might guess from the name, this very thin pancake hails from Sweden. Swedish Pancakes can be served for breakfast, but Swedes also prepare them for supper accompanied with a bowl of hearty pea soup. Unlike the thicker American "flap jack", the Swedish pancake is more like the French crepe. Rather than syrup, the pancakes are usually garnished with lingonberries, a tart red berry, and sprinkled with powdered sugar. From the Minnesota Scandinavian chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947

PLäTTAR (SWEDISH-FINNISH PANCAKES)
My pastor's wife is Finnish (her parents came from Finland) and this recipe of hers reminded me of the Danish Aebelskivers. Seems like pancakes are a real Scandanavian staple. They could be made in the Aebelskiver pan.

SWEDISH PANCAKES WITH LINGONBERRY BUTTER
Delicate, buttery, tangy, delicious... are just a few adjectives that describes these Swedish Pancake/crepes from Cook's Country Magazine (October 2010). The secret lies in using instant flour and club soda. Lingonberries are the authentic jam to use for this recipe, and they have become more readily available in supermarkets. I loved this recipe, as they reminded me of the Swedish pancakes that I had at an International House of Pancakes, years ago. You can serve these with plain jam, but I decided to add the jam to whipped butter which gave these extra richness-- with a few extra calories. Once in a while, just live it up!

AUTHENTIC SWEDISH PANCAKES
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.

Tips:
- For a crispier pancake, heat a little butter or oil in the pan before adding the batter.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the pancakes tough.
- Pour the batter onto a hot griddle or pan. If the pan is not hot enough, the pancakes will stick.
- Don't flip the pancakes too early. Wait until the edges are golden brown and bubbles start to form on the surface.
- Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings, such as lingonberries, whipped cream, or maple syrup.
- If you don't have lingonberries, you can use other berries, such as blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries.
- You can also add other ingredients to the batter, such as chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit.
Conclusion:
Swedish pancakes, also known as plättar, are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect Swedish pancakes every time.
