The Best Homemade Swedish Pancakes

If you’re looking to elevate your breakfast experience and discover a new favorite morning treat, Swedish pancakes should be at the top of your list. These delectable pancakes offer a delightful twist to traditional breakfast, and are somewhere in between a pancake and a crepe in terms of texture. Swedish pancakes are incredibly light and airy, creating a melt-in-your-mouth experience that will leave you craving more.

This Swedish pancake recipe combines simple ingredients like flour, sugar, salt, eggs, milk, and butter to create a batter that results in pancakes with a delicate texture and a subtly sweet flavor. For traditional flavor, serve them with lingonberry jam! It has a tart but juicy flavor that complements the pancakes perfectly. Trust me, it’s a heavenly flavor combo.

Ingredients for Swedish Pancakes

One of the great things about Swedish pancakes is all of the simple ingredients they use! As long as you grab some lingonberry jam from Ikea, you’ll probably have everything else to make them in your pantry. Exact measurements can be found below in the recipe card.

• Flour: All-purpose flour works great for giving the pancakes structure. If you use a different type of flour, make sure it has a low protein content or your pancakes will turn out hard and rubbery.
• Sugar: Gives the pancakes a touch of sweetness.
• Salt: You only need a pinch to keep the pancakes from tasting bland.
• Large Eggs: Hold all of the ingredients together and give the pancakes a crepe-like texture.
• Milk: Adjusts the consistency of the batter. I recommend using whole fat milk so the pancakes turn out nice and tender.
• Melted Butter: For cooking the Swedish pancakes in. You can also use nonstick cooking spray if you prefer.
