Swedish pancakes
The recipe for traditional Swedish pancakes is the same as below, except that they might be served with a local preserve such as lingonberry jam. They are traditionally follow Ärtsoppa (Swedish pea soup) on a Thursday if what I read is to be believed.
Ingredients
Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩🍳 method for this recipe
- 200 ml (7fl oz) milk mixed with 75 ml (3fl oz) cold water
- 2 free range eggs
- 110 g (4 oz) plain flour, sifted
- 50 g (2 oz) butter
- pinch of table salt
Method
- Sift the salt and flour into a large mixing bowl. Hold the sieve high so the flour gets combined with lots of air
- Make a well in the centre of the flour and break the eggs into it.
- With a spatula mix the eggs and flour together
- Ideally with an electric hand mixer, gradually add the milk and water mix whilst whisking. Your goal is a smooth batter with no lumps or stray bits of flour
- There is no need to leave the mixture to stand, make the pancakes straight away
- Heat the butter in a heavy frying pan, swill it around so the pan is well oiled but not dripping in fat. Pour the remaining butter into a plate to use for the remaining pancakes
- Use 2 tablespoons of batter mixture per pancake, dolloped in the middle of the pan and instantly swirl the pan around to distribute the batter around the whole of the pan
- Cook for about 30 seconds on the first side and about 15 seconds on the other side
- Dab a little more butter on the frying pan before every fresh pancake
- Stack them up on a plate, separated with sheets of grease proof paper and keep them warm in a very low oven
Serving suggestions
- Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice and sprinkled with caster sugar
- Try a little pineapple or strawberry jam or a little bit of honey.
