SIMPLE SWEDISH PANCAKES



Simple Swedish Pancakes image

I grew up in Little Sweden, USA, and my great-grandparents on my Mom's side were all from Sweden. This is the recipe I grew up with (I added the nutmeg as I like nutmeg). I love these and make them for family brunches all the time. They even taste good as leftovers, as pancakes again, or with peanut butter instead. We serve these with just syrup and butter, but many use lingonberries, or other fruit or jams.

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

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)

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh milk, eggs, and butter will give your pancakes the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes: This will allow the gluten in the flour to relax, which will make the pancakes more tender.
  • Heat your griddle or frying pan over medium heat: If the heat is too high, the pancakes will burn on the outside before they're cooked through on the inside.
  • Grease your griddle or frying pan lightly with butter or cooking spray: This will prevent the pancakes from sticking.
  • Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle or frying pan for each pancake: Spread the batter out into a circle with a spoon or spatula.
  • Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they're golden brown: Flip the pancakes carefully with a spatula.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings: Such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Swedish pancakes are a delicious and versatile breakfast food. They can be served with a variety of toppings, making them a great option for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect Swedish pancakes every time.
