This is my Scandinavian grandmother's recipe of the traditional Swedish pancake. These are very thin pancakes, rolled up and served with lingonberries and/or sprinkled with confectioners' sugar. These are also good with lemon juice and maple syrup even!

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs

  • 2 cups milk

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons white sugar

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, or as needed

Directions

  1. Beat eggs in a large bowl; add milk, flour, sugar, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, and vanilla extract and mix until batter is very thin.

  2. Heat a griddle or a Swedish plett pan over medium heat; add about 1 teaspoon oil. Pour a small amount of batter onto the griddle and tip griddle to spread the batter into a thin layer; cook until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip pancake and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes more. Roll pancake and place on a plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
