You can totally make them all and keep warm to eat together!! I used to make crepes for a basketball team (think at least 4 crepes per guy - that’s a lot of crepes lol!!)
My family has a tradition very similar but ours are 'Dutch' pancakes which are basically Betty Crocker Swedish Pancakes with almost double the eggs. We do lingonberry jam/Nutella/butter pats/whipped cream as the additions. Love to see you guys doing the same thing our family does hehe, love the video as always!!! And happy birthday Cosmo! 🎉
Looking good! Really impressed by the structural integrity :) I'm also impressed by the toppings, not something I've seen in Sweden, but they make sense somehow. However: as a Swede, I have NEVER seen a Swedish person use a blender to make a pancake batter. I feel it puts up an extra barrier in the way, not everybody has a blender, and cleaning one is in experience worse than just washing a bowl and a whisk. The thing that every recipe in Swedish cookbooks, and Swedish grandmother will tell you, is to hold back half of the milk and whisk until lump free before adding in the remaining milk. I even got told this in home economy class. It just takes a few minutes and gives perfect result! Trust me, for two years made Swedish pancakes every Sunday 😋
hmm. we don't add sugar *or* butter. I think using butter in the batter is probably better than what my Swedish family does since they end up getting some burned butter sometimes. They always fill them with berry based preserves and sometimes ice cream. ... and yours look better than any I've ever been served, so nice job!
A lot of Swedish recipes list sugar as optional, and if included it is in a pretty small amount. My 88 year old grandfather uses a tiny squeeze of ljus/mörk sirap in his, and my dad refuses to add sugar of any kind.
Fourth times the charm... we didnt have the correct shaped pot for this. The first few as i learned my pan and heat, were still delicious even though they looked like nothing great to look at. As for the swedish or not.. i explained it to my husband as the batter consistency is a little different than crepe and the way im cooking it is slightly different. 😅 i was blowing smoke in the hopes to get him off my back as i tried to focus on my almost catastrophe lol
Interesting - we have similar but different pancake versions in Denmark. Here the traditional pancake has similar ingredients to yours, but we also add a pinch of cardamom as well as a splash of wheat bear which makes them super crispy! Option to add lemon on top as well!
my family is swedish, and we obviously just call them pancakes - or PANNKAKOR! they are delicious, thin and superior to the thick american style. my grandma used to make a stack of them with layors of whipped cream and blueberry jam, its called a pannkakstårta (pancake-cake) and its bomb
From a Swedish perspective - Crêpes = Ultra thin and usually have some kind of meat, cheese or mixture (think Americans call it salad) - Swedish Pancakes = Not as thin and have desert toppings (cream, jam, apple purée, sugar, syrup (sugar beet not cane) etc.)
We have a similar tradition in my husbands German family they call roller pancakes. More egg and less milk, but otherwise about the same! My husbands Grandmother made them in a cast iron skillet so he insists on doing the same...not me, too heavy! We butter ours and sprinkle with sugar. Happy Birthday Cosmo!
I need to get back into cracking the Original Pancake House 49ers again. Swedish pancake-ish, but just a bit thicker sourdough version. All the online copycat recipes aren’t even close
Happy, happy birthday to the adorable Cosmo Music!!! He is always down with making an outstanding appearance, even when woken from a nice sleep on his birthday. The imitation of the Mama was absolutely spot on and should earn him many more Swedish pancakes, served in bed when it is not his birthday! 😘
On the next birthday Carla... 25g butter 4 DL of milk 3 DL flour 3 eggs 2 DL san pell sparkling water few pinches of salt Butter/ghee mix for pan Enjoy, and they should never be as chewy as a crepe. That's the biggest difference.
My favourite topping is my dad's homemade applesauce or raspberry and blueberry jam with icecream. I'm Swedish and the typical way of eating pancakes is with peasoup, you eat the soup first and the pancakes second. Traditionally served on Thursdays (don't ask me why). One of the best parts about Swedish pancakes though is eating the leftovers cut up into strips, fried in bacon grease and sugar.
I am fundamentally against pancakes and getting out of bed. In fact I’m so good at it that I’ve spent the last week in bed with a 101 fever. However, it is Carla…
I think there’s something of a divide among Swedes over whether to put butter into the batter or keeping it out and drowning them in butter in the frying pan instead. This way definitely makes it easier to get the pancakes nice and thin, but on the other hand, the buttery crunchy edges you get from frying them in like a tablespoon or two of butter are absolutely incredible. It’s all down to taste, obviously. Same goes for the toppings, the most classic one is strawberry or raspberry jam, but you definitely get people who put sugar on there as well, and fruit is becoming more and more popular. I haven’t really seen peanut butter done, but I can absolutely see it working.
I've never seen another family who makes this recipe! My family calls them "German pancakes", the technique is exactly the same, but the recipe is 6 eggs, 3/4 cup sugar, 3/4 cup flour, 3/4 cup milk, heavy splash of vanilla and a pinch of salt. My family whisks it by hand, but I use a blender to mix it up. We let the batter sit at room temp for 30ish minutes and then cook exactly the same. The traditional filling for us is also butter, powdered sugar and fresh lemon... but of course you can use anything! Definitely a rich labor of love, but very special for holidays or every once in a blue moon. Thanks for sharing!!
Happy happy belated birthday Cosmo ! 🎊🎂 🎉 Thanks for the recipe Carla! I love your kimono sleeves. There are ways to tie up your kimono/bell sleeves for cooking and other tasks. Look for the tutorial “how to tie a Tusuki (sash/cord to keep kimono sleeves out of the way). I usually use a long scarf or a length of ribbon. It makes a world of difference (and it feels good too!)
Im from Norway and we have the same pancakes, typically with butter and sugar or blueberry jam, or any kind of jam really. I love mine with blueberry and bacon. You should really try to make Norwegian waffles and have them with strawberry jam and sour cream! Or the traditional brown cheese!!
When I poured the first one in the stainless steel pan, I definitely had an “oh shit, there’s no way this is going to work” but Trust In Carla, they came out amazing, no sticking. You’ve made me look at my stainless steel a whole new way!
Your stripy plates are very clockwork orange. I love them! I make a similar pancake, the recipe is from a Serbian friend where they call them Palačinke. I love them because it's also easy to scale down as a solo dweller 🥞 ✨
Oh my, it’s so interesting that is so similar how we do pancakes in Venezuela. My mom used to make them for me with salty cheese and jam, with drizzle honey❤
