Swedish Pancakes “Pannkakor”
Swedish Pancakes or in Swedish pannkakor [pannkakoor] are very common in Sweden, it is really a type of bread that gets fried in a frying pan. Traditionally pancakes are eaten on Thursdays in Sweden after you have pea soup. Those pancakes get served with lingonberry and whipped cream.
I grew up with pancakes in Sweden with jam and whipped cream, usually you can find pancakes or waffle stands in Sweden and get fresh pancakes with jam and whipped cream. Those are my favorite but there are many ways of eating your pancakes and many different types of filling.
Here are some filling examples that I enjoy:
Sugar & Cinnamon
Lingonberry
Jam and Whipped cream
Banana, sugar & cinnamon
Apples, sugar & cinnamon
Cream Cheese
Let me know what your favorite filling is.

Warm up the frying pan with a little bit of butter or ghee. Pour in the batter, about 1/2 cup per pancake. Let the pancake stiffen before you turn it and let it become golden brown before it is done. Also stir the batter before you pour the next batter to make sure the flour isn’t sitting at the bottom.
