Swedish Pancakes Recipe (Plattar)

Learn how to make Swedish pancakes! This authentic Swedish pancakes recipe comes from my wife's great-great grandmother, Anna Boerjeson, from Smaland, Sweden. The batter makes roughly 40 pancakes. Known in English as Swedish pancakes, this delicate, crepe-like cakes are sweeter and smaller than American pancakes, served with lingonberry preserves instead of maple syrup. Moist on the inside, crisp on the outside, they are topped with a tart-sweet dollop of lingonberry preserves. Lingonberries, a member of the cranberry family, grow in the mountainous regions of Scandinavia. Swedish Pancakes Recipe ingredients 3 eggs 2 cups heavy cream 1 cup all purpose flour 1 tablespoon sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter 14 1/2 ounces sweetened wild lingonberries (or substitute raspberry preserves) Directions 1.
