For the best results, let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes before cooking. This allows the gluten to relax and creates a more tender pancake. A plett pan gives these pancakes their classic small, round shape, but a regular griddle or crepe pan works just as well. Adjust the amount of batter you pour depending on the size of your cooking surface. Feel free to experiment with different flavorings! A pinch of cardamom or a splash of almond extract can add a lovely twist. These pancakes are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave before serving.

01
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, sugar, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and very thin. (approximately 2 minutes)
02
StepHeat a lightly oiled griddle or a Swedish plett pan over medium heat. (approximately 3 minutes)
03
StepPour a small amount of batter (about 1/4 cup) onto the hot griddle. Immediately tilt the griddle to spread the batter into a thin, even layer. (approximately 1 minute)
04
StepCook the pancake for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the underside is set.
05
StepCarefully flip the pancake with a thin spatula and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until the second side is also lightly browned.
06
StepRemove the pancake from the griddle and immediately roll it up. Place it on a serving plate and keep warm.
07
StepRepeat with the remaining batter, greasing the griddle as needed. (variable time)
08
StepServe the warm pancakes immediately with lingonberry preserves, confectioners' sugar, lemon wedges, or maple syrup.
