how to make Swedish Pancakes (Pannkakor)

Swedish Pancakes (Pannkakor) – Thin, Buttery & Better Than Crepes!

Swedish pancakes, or pannkakor, are a delightful treat that are thinner and more delicate than their American counterparts, yet richer and more flavorful than traditional crepes. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, these pancakes pair wonderfully with a variety of toppings. Let’s dive into the recipe!

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups milk
• 1/4 cup melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.
2. In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
3. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until you have a smooth batter. Let it rest for about 10-15 minutes.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little butter to coat the surface.
5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, tilting it to spread the batter evenly.
6. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side.
7. Remove from skillet and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
