Authentic Swedish Pancakes image

This is an authentic Swedish pancake recipe that was taught to my father by his mother, who was born in Sweden. My father then passed it to me. Kids love them. Never any leftovers when I make them. To serve, you can spoon melted butter over pancakes and sprinkle with sugar, or serve with lingonberry sauce. You can also use the batter to make crepes.

Tips for Making Grandma's Swedish Pancakes

  • Use a non-stick skillet. This will help prevent the pancakes from sticking and make them easy to flip.
  • Heat the skillet over medium heat. If the skillet is too hot, the pancakes will burn. If it's too cool, they won't cook through.
  • Pour a thin layer of batter into the skillet. Don't overcrowd the skillet, or the pancakes will be too thick and won't cook evenly.
  • Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Don't flip the pancakes too soon, or they will break.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, syrup, powdered sugar, and fruit.
