Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cups Mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cardamom
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, sugar, and salt until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Set aside to rest for 10 minutes.
While the batter rests, prepare the berry cardamom topping. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the mixed berries, honey, ground cardamom, and water. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries release their juices and the mixture thickens slightly.
Melt a small portion of the butter in a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Once melted, pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan and swirl it around to create a thin, round pancake.
Cook the pancake for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip carefully with a spatula and cook for another 30-60 seconds on the other side. Transfer the cooked pancake to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
Serve the Swedish pancakes warm, topped with the berry cardamom mixture. Optionally, sprinkle with powdered sugar for garnish before serving.
