Swedish Pancakes
Thin, buttery Swedish pancakes with soft centres and golden edges, served with lingonberry jam and fresh berries.
Ingredients
Quantities for 4. Tick things off as you go.
Method
Whisk the eggs
At room temperature, whisk the eggs in a bowl for 1 minute until evenly combined.
Make the batter
Off the heat, whisk in the milk, flour, sugar and salt for 2 minutes until smooth. Whisk in the melted butter, then rest the batter for 10 minutes at room temperature.
Heat the pan
Over medium heat, warm a small non-stick frying pan for 2 minutes. Melt a little extra butter in the pan; it is ready when the butter foams gently but does not brown.
Cook the first side
Over medium heat, pour in about 60 ml batter and immediately swirl the pan to make a thin layer. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until the surface looks set and the edges lift easily.
Flip and finish
Over medium heat, turn the pancake with a thin spatula and cook for 30 to 45 seconds, until lightly golden underneath. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, adding a little butter whenever the pan looks dry.
Serve
Off the heat, fold or roll the pancakes and serve warm with lingonberry jam and fresh berries.

Tips
- Keep the cooked pancakes on a warm plate while you finish the batch.
- Pour and swirl the batter as soon as it hits the pan so it spreads into a thin layer.
- Add butter when the pan looks dry, and lower the heat if the butter starts to brown.
Swaps
- Use a mix of seasonal berries in place of the fresh berries.
- Use another tart berry jam in place of lingonberry jam.
Storing
Refrigerate leftover pancakes in a covered container for up to 2 days and reheat gently in a pan.
