This is the best Swedish pancake recipe which has been passed down for several generations, and it never goes out of style. Serve with lingonberry jam, whipped cream, and syrup just like they do in Scandinavia.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 4 eggs

  • 4 cups milk

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter

Directions

  1. Beat eggs in a large bowl until smooth. Add milk, flour, sugar, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and salt; whisk until just combined. Stir in 1/2 cup melted butter until batter is very thin and slightly lumpy.

  2. Heat a nonstick griddle over medium-high heat. Brush generously with 1 teaspoon butter. Drop batter onto the griddle to make 6-inch pancakes. Cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Flip and cook until the other side is dry, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Repeat with remaining batter.

Tips

To make pancakes for one, use: 1 egg, 1/4 cup milk, 3 tablespoons flour, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 dash vanilla extract, 1 dash ground cardamom, 1 pinch salt, and 2 teaspoons melted butter.
