How to Make Classic Swedish Pancakes (Pannkakor)

[@tuesdayliketuesday]

Made them. Mmm yumm. Thank you for the recipe. I live in sweden as an American. And I appreciate the translation of measurements. This recipe is exactly as my Swedish mother in laws. They came out perfect. 😊

[@Top5Eateries]

Omg this made me so happy!! Thank you for sharing ❤Happy I could help with the translation 😃

[@Jadd612]

You are beautiful! Both my parents are from Sweden, and I grew up in the Midwest USA. Swedish Pancakes have been a treat my whole life.

[@Top5Eateries]

Aww thank you and that’s so awesome you grew up on pankakor!

[@EthanEmc2]

I also can’t believe people in the US sell it for 20 a plate for Swedish pancakes imma make it myself! Thank youuu❤

[@lrvogt1257]

The pancakes look great. I always put lingonberries (and maybe some butter) on an open pancake and then rolled it up. A variation taught to me by a friend from England was butter, sugar, and fresh lime juice. It sounded weird to me at first but it's very delicious.

[@Top5Eateries]

Wow interesting! I’ll have to try that!

[@Sweetchains]

I’ve made this recipe a couple of times now and it is always delicious! It’s so easy to make. The only thing I would say is if you want to make more pancakes in a shorter amount of time, definitely use two pans !!

[@Top5Eateries]

So glad to hear this! 😍 and yes two pans is an excellent tip!!

[@craig2119]

Awesome! Just like I remember grandma making Swedish cakes. I was never taught the Swedish Pankakor.

[@Top5Eateries]

Aww that’s so sweet. Hope this recipe helped! 🫶

[@EELinneman]

I have my grandmother's recipe for Swedish Pancakes. She was born in southern Sweden and I can still remember these as a little kid. Her recipe calls for sour half and half instead of milk.

[@Top5Eateries]

Aww I love that you have her recipe! 😍 Never had sour half and half but sounds so interesting!

[@chrispixx]

My family is of German heritage, my dad would make these and we would have them for dinner. He always called them egg pancakes. The way we would have them is probably a travesty to Swedish tradition, but we always had them with maple syrup and breakfast sausage.

[@Top5Eateries]

I love it! I think that way sounds delicious too 😄

[@richardnelson3227]

Swedish pancakes the best

[@Top5Eateries]

100% agreed!

[@sykotikmommy]

I grew up in a Swedish family, and we ate them whenever. They were usually cooked up as a special treat, and my mother or grandparents never made them for after split pea soup that I can recall, so that's interesting to hear. Maybe my family dropped it once they came over.

[@peternorberg7316]

Pea soup and panncakes is the classical Thursday dish in the swedish army, it’s still served every Thursday and quite popular, you can even by canned ”army” pea soup in swedish supermarkets. Many schools and work cantinas also serve pea soup and panncakes on Thursdays. When cooking at home I would say most swedes also just eat the panncakes like youre family.

[@ninaasg6374]

I love swidish pancake 😋👌

[@Top5Eateries]

They're the best!

[@Plumbr44]

I've made similar pancakes, but in a non-stick pan. I just ordered a cast iron griddle pan like you used, they just seemed to fry much better in what you used. I'm a big fan of cast iron to begin with.

[@Top5Eateries]

Non-stick pans definitely work but yes, the cast iron takes it to another level 😍

[@tita1m]

Best and quickest recipe ❤

[@missj2263]

Wow I like chrispy pancake, definitely I’ll make this pancake 🤤

[@Top5Eateries]

Yay! Let me know how they turn out 😃

[@annacarlsson1280]

We all have different ways to make it xD I realy dont like it crispy and I use dubble the eggs and sugar in the batter xD (1.5L full fat milk, around 10 eggs (depends on size), flour on a hip xD I wisk the flour with the eggs at the start and I know how mush flour I need from that :), 2dl sugar and around two sweeps of salt. If youve cooked a long time its all in the hands kinda xD You can also make a thick oven pancake in a deep pan with bacon :P -Cut up thick rashes of bacon into, around, 1cm thick pieces, -put the pieces in a buttered deep pan and then into a cold oven. -Heat up to around 440F or 225C (the bacon should be done but if not a lil longer). -Take out and pour the batter in and then wisk so the pieces get unstuck. -Cook untill nice on the top. (Dont forget oven gloves xD) I love some razberry jam with it :) But you can have any kind of jam you like xD

[@Top5Eateries]

[@nordscan9043]

Typically you spread the jam across the entire pancake and roll it into a roll. Cut the roll into slices and enjoy!

[@Top5Eateries]

Yes! I do that too 🤤

Yummy!! Thanks for the recipe and conversation. ❤

[@Top5Eateries]

Aw thanks for joining me on this video! ❤ hope to see you on the next one 😍

[@MsFakoff]

I heard that such a recipe was called "swedish": first fry on one side, then fold the pancake in half right in the pan and fry again, but on both sides. Do you know anything about this?

[@Top5Eateries]

I’ve never heard about this one! Interesting…

[@peternorberg7316]

I’m a swede and I’ve never heard about this metod, but it sounds strange, so do you mean fold so the unfried side is in the middle, or first flip it so the unfried side is on the outside of the fold?

[@lynettedavey1454]

Yummy!

[@thetshirtblog]

What's the difference between this and crepes?

[@Top5Eateries]

Good question because they are very similar! However authentic French crepes require sugar, and Swedish pancakes don't. Crepes are also much thinner, which I think is the main difference. Then of course they are served differently, with crepes there are many sweet and savory options for topping/filling, whereas Swedish pancakes are topped with whipped cream and strawberry jam, or just the jam alone. In Sweden pancakes and crepes are not interchangeable, even though they look similar, the experience of eating it is different 😄

[@peternorberg7316]

As a swede I would say a crêpe is a filled panncake, however crêpes is a french thing and we don’t really eat crêpes in Sweden. So panncakes is just the panncake, crêpes is a panncake with some weired french filling 😂.

[@WilliamAnderson-sc1sj]

So the butter doesn’t go into the batter, only the pan when you cook it?

[@Top5Eateries]

You can either melt the butter in the pan and dunk that into the batter and mix, like I did in the video. Or you skip this step and butter the pan only. Either works, it’s more about preference…

[@sykotikmommy]

Isn't it supposed to have butter in the recipe also? That's what sets them apart from others.

[@Top5Eateries]

Yup! It’s in the video 😉 and in the written recipe in the description.

[@peternorberg7316]

No never use butter in panncake batter, there fried in butter yes, but the batter is only milk, egg and wheatflour, maybe a pinch of salt also but that’s all, the classic swedish recipe is 112 (1 egg, 1 dl wheatflour and 2 dl milk) that’s only for a few panncakes so multiply if you’re hungry or cooking for a family.

[@Top5Eateries]

@@peternorberg7316 actually butter in the batter is common. I personally learned the butter step as displayed in this video, in my elementary school in Stockholm. It’s not mandatory though.

[@peternorberg7316]

I never have butter in panncake batter, that would make it a waffel batter😂 But I know there’s many different recipes for panncakes in Sweden, some even put vanilla sugar in the batter (which I don’t like). If you use a cast iron pan you will need to use a lot of butter while frying so there’s really no need for butter in the batter.

[@DaveKraft1]

Vat?!? No lingonberries?!? ;~) Great recipe, thanks!!

[@Top5Eateries]

Haha no lingonberries this time 😁

[@Thellbro]

They’re to tart/bitter.

[@peternorberg7316]

Heretic! Lingon with panncakes sounds absolutly discusting, I’m swedish and we eat lingon to many dishes but never on panncakes. For panncakes it’s raspberry, strawberry or ”queen” jam, queen jam is basically 50/50 raspberry/blueberry, with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

[@annicaesplund6613]

Lingon is savory and eaten with meatballs for example.

[@gutrzzara9621]

Where can I buy pan

[@Top5Eateries]

I got it in a store in the US. It’s a flat cast iron pan, which you can order online or in a physical store that sells kitchen supplies.

[@Thellbro]

Personally I’d go with raspberry jam, or even cloudberry jam (y’all have to Google that haha), but to each his own.

[@Top5Eateries]

I love raspberry jam. Cloudberry is the only jam I eat on ANYTHING when I'm in visiting Sweden 🤣❤

[@ramencurry6672]

In a blind taste test you won’t be able to tell a big difference of jam. The will all taste fruity. It’s all psychological

[@Thellbro]

@@ramencurry6672 sure thang dude! Whatever

[@ramencurry6672]

@@Thellbro there will be a difference with eyes closed but subtle

[@Thellbro]

@@ramencurry6672 you need to go out in the woods, pick different berries and make jam, you’ll now the difference!!!

[@cleancutguy1892]

I will pass on these Swedish pancakes, I still prefer the French crepes they are thinner and love the toppings, either sweet or savory.

[@Top5Eateries]

Thanks for checking out the video! I totally get it - French crepes are amazing with their thin texture and versatile toppings. I'm a fan of those too! 😊 If you ever feel like trying something different, though, Swedish pancakes have their own charm.

I’m so happy that was strawberry jam because from the thumbnail I thought that shit was ketchup

These look more like crepes than pancakes

[@Top5Eateries]

Swedish pancakes are similar to crepes, * slight * difference in taste and texture though.

[@peternorberg7316]

As a swede I would say american panncakes look more like a sponge cake than an actual panncake 😂

[@peternorberg7316]

Actually in northern Sweden they would’nt call this a panncake either, they would call this a plätt, and for them a panncake is about an inch thick and made in the oven with panncake batter and bacon (or pork belly), in southern Sweden we call this an oven panncake.
