Swedish Pancakes Plttar
Delight your taste buds with the irresistible charm of Swedish Pancakes, or Plättar, a traditional Scandinavian treat that's thinner and more delicate than American pancakes, making them perfect for rolling or folding. Crafted with a simple yet flavorful batter of flour, milk, eggs, sugar, and butter, these light and lacy cakes are cooked to golden perfection in a specially designed plättpanna or a standard skillet. Their thin, crepe-like texture makes them the ultimate canvas for toppings—serve them warm with a dollop of tangy lingonberry jam and a swirl of whipped cream for an authentic Swedish experience, or customize with your favorite sweet or savory accompaniments. Ready in just 30 minutes, this recipe is an easy and elegant option for breakfast, brunch, or even dessert.

Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.5 cups Whole milk
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Butter or oil (for greasing skillet)
- 0.5 cup Lingonberry jam (for serving, optional)
- 0.5 cup Whipped cream (for serving, optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the milk.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in the melted butter until well incorporated. The batter will be thin, which is ideal for Swedish pancakes.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or a Swedish pancake pan (plättpanna) over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil.
Pour about 2-3 tablespoons of batter into the pan for each pancake. Tilt the pan gently to spread the batter evenly into a thin round.
Cook the pancake for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to curl and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side.
Transfer the cooked pancake to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
Serve warm with lingonberry jam and whipped cream, or your favorite topping.
