Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt to combine.
Step 2
In another bowl, lightly beat the eggs, then gradually whisk in the milk.
Step 3
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to create a smooth, lump-free batter.
Step 4
Stir in the melted butter until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Preheat a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of butter or neutral oil.
Step 6
Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan, quickly swirling it around to create a thin, even layer.
Step 7
Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip the pancake carefully and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked pancake to a plate and cover it with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, re-greasing the pan as needed.
Step 9
Serve the Swedish thin pancakes warm, topped with powdered sugar, jam, fresh berries, or a drizzle of syrup. Roll them up or fold them for a classic presentation.
