Transport your taste buds to the charming landscapes of Scandinavia with this Swedish classic—Pancakes with Lingonberries. These irresistibly thin and golden pancakes, similar to delicate crêpes, are crafted from a simple, silky batter of all-purpose flour, milk, eggs, and a touch of sugar. Gently cooked to perfection in buttery bliss, they’re then lovingly paired with the tart and vibrant sweetness of lingonberry jam, a Nordic staple that adds a distinct tangy flair to each bite. Ready in just 30 minutes, this recipe is ideal for a cozy breakfast or a delightful dessert. Garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar for a touch of elegance, and enjoy a slice of Swedish tradition in every tender fold. Perfect for serving four, these pancakes make for a memorable, globally inspired treat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and sugar.
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. The batter should be smooth and slightly runny.
In a separate small bowl, beat the eggs, then add them to the batter, whisking until combined.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small pan or microwave. Allow it to cool slightly, then stir it into the batter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of additional butter or oil.
Pour about 1/4 cup (approximately 60 mL) of batter into the pan, swirling it immediately to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.
Cook the pancake for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip the pancake gently with a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Transfer the cooked pancake to a plate and cover it with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm, topped with a generous spoonful of lingonberry jam. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
