Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk (+ 1/4 cup extra if needed)
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
Toppings
- Lingonberry or blueberry jam
- Plain yogurt
- Whipped cream or heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Make Pancake Batter: Blend the eggs and milk together for about 30 seconds until the mixture doubles in size, incorporating air to make the pancakes light.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, melted butter, sugar, and salt to the mixture, then blend again for 15-20 seconds until everything is well combined into a smooth batter.
- Preheat Pan and Pour Batter: Preheat a nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron pan over medium heat. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan, then immediately tilt and swirl the pan to spread the batter thinly and evenly, creating lacy edges.
- Cook First Side: Let the pancake cook for about 1 minute or until the edges start to look golden brown. Use a spatula to gently lift the edge to check the color.
- Flip and Cook Second Side: Carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side for 15-30 seconds. The goal is a golden brown color on the front side and a pale finish on the back side, but cook to your preferred doneness.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes flat, folded, or rolled. Top with lingonberry jam, plain yogurt, whipped cream, or any toppings you like, such as maple syrup or fresh fruit. The traditional pairing is lingonberry jam with yogurt for an authentic Swedish experience.
Notes
- If the batter seems too thick, add up to 1/4 cup more milk to reach a pourable consistency.
- Use a well-seasoned cast iron or nonstick pan to prevent sticking and achieve even cooking.
- For extra light and airy pancakes, blend eggs and milk until frothy before adding dry ingredients.
- Adjust sugar to taste if you prefer sweeter pancakes.
