Swedish Pancakes

These pancakes are half way in between a pancake and a crepe. Served with sour cream and jam – enjoy them Swedish style!

I love Swedish Pancakes because I hate traditional restaurant style American pancakes. Those thick and fluffy pancakes that are so thick that the inside of the pancake doesn’t absorb the syrup. The insides are then dry. I always order the silver dollar pancakes whenever I eat out for pancakes. At least those are a little thinner. Whenever I make pancakes, I usually add more milk to the batter to get a thinner pancake, which is usually halfway in between a crepe and an American pancake.

That’s exactly what these Swedish Pancakes are – halfway in between a crepe and a pancake!

Perfect for breakfast or brunch, garnished with a little powdered sugar!

Swedish pancakes don’t have any leavening, which leads to their thin and flat appearance. They are only slightly thicker than a crepe. Instead of syrup, enjoy them the way the Swedes do, with lingonberry jam and sour cream.

Are you a pancake fan? Throw a few ingredients together and cook them up on a skillet. They are fast and easy to make. Many of us are staying home as much as possible now due to social distancing (2020). Whenever hungry mouths are begging for a snack, pancakes are a great option.

  • Leave batter to rest for 15 minutes.

It is very important that the skillet is well heated, but not smoking. Otherwise, the pancakes will stick to the pan.

  1. Your pancakes are so thin and attractive.I have always disliked pancakes for their thickness and the dry inside…
    These resemble the Indian Dosas very much.sure going to try this

  2. I am fine with the thickness of pancakes but definitely love crepes more. I was planning to make these for the Swedish theme but then finally decided against it. I might make it for shreyas’s lunch box one day.
