Authentic Swedish Pancakes (Pannkakor)
These delicate and thin Swedish pancakes, known as Pannkakor, are a beloved classic. Perfect for a cozy breakfast or a delightful dessert, they are incredibly versatile.
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs until well combined.
- Gradually add the milk to the eggs, whisking constantly until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, white sugar, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Do not overmix.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan or crêpe pan over medium heat. Add about ½ teaspoon of butter to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Pour a small amount of batter (about ¼ cup) into the hot pan, tilting and swirling the pan quickly to spread the batter thinly and evenly over the entire surface.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to crisp and the top looks set. Carefully flip the pancake with a spatula.
- Cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute on the second side, until lightly golden.
- Slide the cooked pancake onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed, stacking the finished pancakes.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, jam, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
