Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• 2.5 cups whole milk
• 3 units large eggs
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 tablespoon butter or oil for pan (optional)
• 0.5 cup jam (such as lingonberry or raspberry, for serving)
• 1 cup whipped cream (for serving)
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.

Step 2

Gradually whisk in the whole milk until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. The batter will be thin, which is normal for Swedish pancakes.

Step 4

Whisk in the melted butter until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Preheat a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil if needed.

Step 6

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling it quickly to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer.

Step 7

Cook the pancake for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to curl and the bottom is lightly golden brown.

Step 8

Flip the pancake carefully using a spatula and cook the other side for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, then remove from the pan.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the cooked pancakes on a plate and covering them with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm.

Step 10

Serve the Swedish pancakes warm with a dollop of jam, a spoonful of whipped cream, and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
