Smaller and thinner than their American counterparts, Swedish pancakes are quite tender and comparable in texture to French crepes. If you don't have a Swedish pancake pan, cook the pancakes in a nonstick pan.

Ingredients

Directions

  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine eggs with 1/2 cup milk. Process until completely smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Stop the food processor and add flour. Process again until smooth and thick, 1 to 2 minutes. Add remaining milk, butter, granulated sugar, vanilla, and salt.

  • Heat Swedish pancake pan over medium. Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of batter into each circle. Cook until the edges turn golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip with a fork, and continue cooking 1 to 2 minutes more. (To cook pancakes without a Swedish pancake pan, use a buttered nonstick pan and spoon 1 tablespoon batter per pancake. Pancakes will be less regular in shape.)

  • Serve with confectioners' sugar, fresh fruit, and jam as desired.

Swede here. I'm sorry but this is wrong. Those are plättar not pancakes. Pancakes are as big as the pan.

I saw these being served earlier this month in a tiny Finnish restaurant in southern Spain and the diners spread fruit conserve (jam) over the pancake and aerosol cream over that. They looked delicious and I have been looking for the recipe. Thank you! Eileen.

Great recipe, but absolutely needs currants or berries, jam or fresh, to balance the butter. And of course unsweetened whipped cream. Delicious and a favorite of my kids, that now prefer these to regular crepes with Nutella!

Caramelized apples or pears inside I would suggest!

Maple syrup on Swedish pancakes?? NEVER! Rolled up with a filling of a little jam and unsweetened whipped cream is the way to go.
