Swedish Pancakes Recipe - Plett Pan

Here's my recipe for "Swedish" pancakes. They are very light little mini crepe kind of things and call for the use of a special pan that has 7 little divots in it.

The Pancake Recipe:

In a mixing bowl with a good pouring lip:

  • 1 egg (or 2 whites)
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1+1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Mix with a whisk to make them nice and fluffy.

Get the pan hot. Using a stick of butter where you have peeled the wrapper back, apply butter to the circles of the pan. Then pour the batter into the divots and cook on one side. When the tops are starting to get a little firm, use a mini-spatula or a knife to flip them. When they are all done you can pick up the whole pan and turn it over above a serving tray to get the pancakes off in one swoop.

Can you guess which recipe we searched for fifteen minutes this morning before we made it?

Top with syrup, fruit, jelly, powdered sugar, etc.
Serves 3 when served alongside some fresh fruit and maybe a little sausage patty.

Here's a photo of what the "plett pan" or "swedish pancake pan" should look like:

Swedish Pancakes Recipe

Good recipe, close to authentic. However, Scandinavian purists (mighty few of those around) would suggest that the fat content of your recipe is too low. We make ours using half cream half milk, or of course, you can use half n' half. Also, for those who cannot tolerate dairy products, use liquid, non-dairy creamer in same liquid proportion. As a last comment, those of us who are of Nordic descent would use Lingonberry preserves on top of our cakes, but when not available cranberry sauce will do.

My, that does sound like a

My, that does sound like a good set of variations. I'll have to try them out and let you know how it goes.

Swedish Pancakes!

OMG...I just made some what I think of as Swedish pancakes (like IHOP makes)...ha ha ha...not really authentic I suppose...I got them a little too thick, and I think they needed more sugar (maybe powdered on top). I used lingonberry preserves from Ikea, and they turned out great! This is a neat little pan...had not seen one before! I am a Swedish Pancake fanatic!!! Thanks for posting this! I am posting a pic of mine HERE if you want to take a peek!
