About Swedish Pancake Recipe for One
Love flapjacks but want something a little different? Enter, the Swedish Pancake! These thin, delicate beauties are a Scandinavian cousin to the crepe, and easier to make than pronouncing “Fjällräven Kånken” correctly. Light, buttery, and perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a fancy midnight snack you definitely don’t have to share.- Cooking Method: Frying
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 15 minutes
- Cuisine Type: Swedish
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 tablespoon butter (for the skillet)
Cooking Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix the flour, salt, and sugar.
- Add the egg and half of the milk. Whisk until smooth. Add the remaining milk and whisk again until well combined and lump-free.
- Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt, spreading it evenly across the skillet.
- Once the butter is sizzling, pour a 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet, swirling to spread it thinly and evenly.
- Cook for about 1 minute, until the edges start to lift and the pancake is golden brown underneath. Flip the pancake and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, re-buttering the skillet as needed. You should get about three pancakes.
Suggestions
- Alternate Ingredients: Swap milk with a plant-based milk (oat, almond, etc.) for a dairy-free version.
- Garnishing: Serve with powdered sugar, fresh berries, a dollop of whipped cream or your favorite jam. A sprinkle of cinnamon won’t hurt!
- Cooking Tips: Use a non-stick skillet to make flipping easier, or channel your inner Swedish chef and master the art of pan-flipping (just don’t let the pancake hit the ceiling).
