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.

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 10

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 ½ cups pancake mix
2 ⅔ cups skim milk, or as needed
2 cups part-skim ricotta cheese

Steps:

  • Whisk together the pancake mix, skim milk, and ricotta in a bowl until smooth. Batter should be thick; add more milk if necessary to get desired consistency.

Tips:

  • Use a non-stick skillet or griddle. This will help prevent the pancakes from sticking and make them easier to flip.
  • Heat the skillet or griddle over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the pancakes will brown too quickly and not cook through.
  • Pour the batter onto the hot skillet or griddle in thin circles. Do not overcrowd the pan or the pancakes will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown. Flip the pancakes carefully to avoid tearing.
  • Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, syrup, fruit, and whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Swedish pancakes are a delicious and versatile breakfast food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized with a variety of toppings. Whether you like them simple or dressed up, Swedish pancakes are sure to please.
