Swedish Pancakes (Almost Like Crepes)

This is an old family recipe that I got tired of guessing on. I finally figured out the right proportions and wrote it down so I’ll never be annoyed again! This recipe makes enough for 2-4 people, depending on how many Swedish pancakes they can eat.

The Pancakes

Beat until frothy:

1 c. eggs (about 4 lg.)

1 c. milk

Add and mix until smooth:

1 1/4 c. flour

Cook pancakes in a hot, buttered pan, 1/4 – 1/3 c. of batter at a time. It works really well the smear a stick of cold butter over the pan. A griddle just doesn’t give the same result! When you pour the batter in, swirl it around so you get a nice, thin pancake. Cook until golden, flip, and cook the other side. It’s pretty quick, so don’t leave the pan unattended.

Serve the Swedish pancakes rolled up with any favorite toppings:

fresh fruit, like strawberries and bananas

whipped cream

peanut butter

cream cheese

butter and sugar (traditional way)

brown sugar

lemon juice

Nutella

or, for dessert, ice cream!

Favorite Combinations

I’ve gotten in the habit of eating 3 Swedish pancakes, and I always eat them in this order.

  1. Ham rollup (ham, cream cheese)
  2. Peanut butter cheesecake (peanut butter, brown sugar, cream cheese)
  3. Chocolate-covered strawberry (sliced strawberries, Nutella)
