Chef Sven's Scrumptious Swedish Pancakes Recipe
Chef Sven • 2023-11-13
Swedish pancakes, also known as pannkakor, are a deliciously thin and delicate alternative to regular pancakes. They are perfect for a lazy Sunday morning breakfast or brunch. The batter is simple to make and requires just a few pantry staples. The result is a stack of golden, lacy pancakes that are sure to impress your family and friends.
But before we dive into the recipe, let me share a funny anecdote from my days as a TV chef. Back in the day, I used to have a co-host named Gustav, who was always up to mischief in the kitchen. One time, while filming a live cooking segment, Gustav accidentally knocked over a bowl of pancake batter, sending it flying across the set. It was like a pancake explosion! We were both covered in batter, and the crew couldn’t stop laughing. It was a messy, but hilarious, experience.
Now, let’s get down to business and make some Swedish pancakes!
