Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 cups | Milk |
| 1/4 cup | Butter |
| 2 tbsp | Margarine |
| 4 | Eggs |
| 1 tbsp | Sugar |
| 1 1/2 tsp | Salt |
| 1 cup | Flour |
Instructions:
-
Combine Wet Ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, and eggs. Whisk them together until well blended. -
-
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In another bowl, combine the sugar, salt, and flour. Stir until evenly mixed. -
Combine Wet and Dry:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ones, stirring constantly until you have a smooth batter. -
Prepare the Pan:
Heat a Swedish fry pan or a small-sided cast iron skillet over medium heat. Optionally, you can lightly grease the pan with butter or cooking spray. -
Cook the Pancakes:
Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the hot pan. Tilt the pan to spread the batter thinly, aiming for about 1/8 inch in thickness. These pancakes resemble crepes, so keep that in mind while pouring. -
Cook Until Golden:
Cook each pancake for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Use a spatula to carefully flip them over. -
Serve Warm:
Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a plate and serve them warm. They can be enjoyed as is or with your favorite toppings, such as jam, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

Tips:
- For extra flavor, you can add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of ground cinnamon to the batter.
- Don’t worry if the first pancake doesn’t turn out perfectly; it often takes a bit of practice to get the hang of pouring and flipping them.
- These pancakes are best enjoyed fresh off the pan, but you can also make a batch ahead of time and reheat them in a low oven or microwave when ready to serve.
- Get creative with your toppings! Swedish pancakes are versatile and taste delicious with both sweet and savory fillings. Try Nutella and sliced bananas for a decadent treat, or smoked salmon and cream cheese for a savory twist.
Enjoy your homemade Swedish pancakes! 🥞🇸🇪
