Description

Swedish Pancakes are thin, buttery, crepe-like pancakes that are soft, slightly sweet, and perfect for rolling around jam, fruit, or whipped cream. They’re a beloved part of Swedish cuisine, ideal for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.


Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for greasing the pan)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth.
  2. Add milk, flour, sugar, salt, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using). Whisk until smooth and thin. Let the batter rest for 10–15 minutes if possible.
  3. Heat a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
  4. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and swirl to coat the bottom evenly.
  5. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is golden.
  6. Flip carefully and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  7. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
  8. Serve warm with toppings of choice.

Notes

Serve with lingonberry jam, whipped cream, or fresh berries for a traditional touch.Add cinnamon or cardamom to the batter for a spiced version.Make savory pancakes by omitting the sugar and serving with smoked salmon or cheese.Use gluten-free flour or plant-based milk as needed for dietary preferences.Letting the batter rest helps create more tender pancakes.
