SWEDISH PANCAKES WITH LINGONBERRIES
Steps:
- Make the Pancake Batter: Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until completely smooth. Transfer to the refrigerator to rest for at least 2 hours or up to 2 days.
- Meanwhile, make the Lingonberry Butter: Combine lingonberry preserves, butter and salt together in a small bowl with a fork. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Heat a 10 inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Stir the batter briefly to recombine. Brush skillet with melted butter. Pick the skillet up off of the burner and quickly add ¼ cup of batter. Immediately begin swirling the batter around the skillet so that it coats the bottom of the pan. Continue swirling until the batter is just set. Return skillet to the burner. Cook until the pancake is golden brown in spots on the bottom, about 30 seconds. Use a thin spatula to loosen the pancake, flip it over continue to cook on the other side for about 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Cover with foil and transfer to oven to keep warm and repeat with remaining batter, wiping out skillet in between pancakes with paper towel as needed.
- When you are ready to serve, top each warm pancake with lingonberry butter and fold into thirds. Serve topped with lingonberry preserves.

PLäTTAR MED LINGON - SWEDISH PANCAKES WITH LINGONBERRIES
As one might guess from the name, this very thin pancake hails from Sweden. Swedish Pancakes can be served for breakfast, but Swedes also prepare them for supper accompanied with a bowl of hearty pea soup. Unlike the thicker American "flap jack", the Swedish pancake is more like the French crepe. Rather than syrup, the pancakes are usually garnished with lingonberries, a tart red berry, and sprinkled with powdered sugar. From the Minnesota Scandinavian chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947

SWEDISH PANCAKES WITH LINGONBERRY BUTTER
Delicate, buttery, tangy, delicious... are just a few adjectives that describes these Swedish Pancake/crepes from Cook's Country Magazine (October 2010). The secret lies in using instant flour and club soda. Lingonberries are the authentic jam to use for this recipe, and they have become more readily available in supermarkets. I loved this recipe, as they reminded me of the Swedish pancakes that I had at an International House of Pancakes, years ago. You can serve these with plain jam, but I decided to add the jam to whipped butter which gave these extra richness-- with a few extra calories. Once in a while, just live it up!

AUTHENTIC SWEDISH PANCAKES
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.

Steps:
- For pancakes:
- Blend eggs and 1/3 cup milk in processor until smooth. Add flour, ground cardamom and salt and process until mixture is thick and smooth. WIth machine running, add remaining 2/3 cup milk, 1/3 cup half and half and 3 tablespoons melted butter and mix batter until smooth. (Pancake batter can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Cover tightly and refrigerate.)
- For topping:
- Combine raspberries, blackberries, sugar and ground cardamom in medium bowl. Mix together gently. Let mixture stand until berries are juicy, stirring occasionally, at least 30 minutes. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 200°F. Place oven-proof platter in oven. Heat heavy large griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Brush griddle with melted butter. Working in batches, add batter to skillet, using 1 tablespoonful for each pancake. Cook until pancakes are brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to platter in oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter, brushing with more butter as needed.
- Place pancakes on plates. Spoon berry topping over and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh lingonberries for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh lingonberries, you can use frozen or canned lingonberries instead.
- Make sure the pancake batter is thin enough to spread easily in the pan. If the batter is too thick, it will be difficult to flip the pancakes.
- Cook the pancakes over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the pancakes will burn. If the heat is too low, the pancakes will take too long to cook.
- Flip the pancakes once they start to bubble around the edges and the undersides are golden brown.
- Serve the pancakes immediately with lingonberries, whipped cream, and maple syrup.
Conclusion:
Swedish pancakes with lingonberries are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. They are perfect for a special occasion or a lazy weekend morning. The pancakes are light and fluffy, and the lingonberries add a tart and tangy flavor. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy this classic Swedish dish in your own home.
