Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 2.5 cups whole milk
- 3 units large eggs
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil for pan (optional)
- 0.5 cup jam (such as lingonberry or raspberry, for serving)
- 1 cup whipped cream (for serving)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.
Gradually whisk in the whole milk until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. The batter will be thin, which is normal for Swedish pancakes.
Whisk in the melted butter until fully incorporated.
Preheat a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil if needed.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling it quickly to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer.
Cook the pancake for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to curl and the bottom is lightly golden brown.
Flip the pancake carefully using a spatula and cook the other side for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, then remove from the pan.
Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the cooked pancakes on a plate and covering them with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm.
Serve the Swedish pancakes warm with a dollop of jam, a spoonful of whipped cream, and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
