Chef Sven's Exquisite Swedish Pancakes
Chef Sven • 2023-11-06
Swedish pancakes, also known as pannkakor, are a beloved breakfast dish in Sweden. They are thin and delicate, often served with lingonberry jam and a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Today, I’m going to share with you my family’s secret recipe for exquisite Swedish pancakes that are sure to impress.
But before we dive into the recipe, let me share a little anecdote with you. Back in my days as a TV chef, I once had the opportunity to cook for a famous Swedish singer who shall remain nameless. I decided to make my famous Swedish pancakes for her, hoping to win her over with their deliciousness. To my surprise, she took one bite and said, ‘These are the best pancakes I’ve ever had!’ I have to admit, I was on cloud nine after hearing those words.
Now, let’s get cooking!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 2 1/2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and milk together until well combined.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
- Stir in the melted butter until the batter is smooth and silky.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
- Pour a 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet and tilt it in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly.
- Cook the pancake for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
- Transfer the pancake to a plate and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
- Serve the Swedish pancakes with lingonberry jam and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
I hope you enjoy making and eating these exquisite Swedish pancakes as much as I do! They are perfect for breakfast or brunch, and the lingonberry jam adds a delightful sweetness. Don’t forget to share them with your loved ones and make some wonderful memories together. Happy cooking!
