Swedish Pancakes
In 2005, our entire family visited Sweden. Of course, food planning and preparation was a major activity, feeding 9+ people, and we adults were constantly in the kitchen when we were not out touring around Stockholm, or on a boat trip to an archipelago. As a former breakfast cook at my frat house, I was used to dealing with massive breakfast preparations and offered my services. My cousin’s wife, Agneta, mixed up a batch of traditional Swedish pancake batter, and I did the cooking on the traditional Swedish plett pan. The batter has much more egg than American mixes and is quite runny. The plett pan cooks several 7 cm (2 1/2-inch) pancakes; and, thus, to feed the horde, I had to cook several batches. We had sausage with the pancakes, topped with maple syrup, lingonberries or cloudberries, and whipped cream.
When I returned to Chicago, Fran pulled out about 20 Swedish pancake recipes and we started down the list. My algorithm is maximum taste for minimum effort, so I went to cooking American style pancakes (~5” dia) with the Swedish batter. I use a skillet so I can cook 4 pancakes at a time. Since the batter is so thin, they cook incredibly fast.
My mom was 97 then, lived nearby, and still had an incredible sweet tooth. For her, I made slightly larger pancakes, crepe thickness so I could roll them up with a lingonberry filling and sprinkle of confectioner’s sugar on the top. With a cup of fresh coffee, she was in 7th heaven – reminding her of breakfasts in Sweden when she was a child. Most Sundays, I would bring her this breakfast, and watch her scarf it down while we talked job, family history, politics, etc., over a fresh cup of coffee. Today is her birthday so, in honor of her memory, I made them for the family breakfast.
These Swedish pancakes are a nice change from traditional American pancakes, with much more opportunity for creative toppings and fillings; and, as such, they could be served as appetizers, sides, or desserts. For now, let’s just stick with a Swedish breakfast pancake!
