Swedish lingonberry pancakes are a delicious traditional dish that combines the tartness of lingonberries with the sweetness of pancakes. This recipe is popular in Sweden, especially during the colder months when hearty and comforting foods are in high demand.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 cup lingonberries (fresh or frozen)
- Whipped cream
- Maple syrup or lingonberry syrup
Preparation Steps
Start by mixing the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients until just mixed. Gently fold in the lingonberries.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour small ladles of batter onto the skillet, cooking until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pancakes warm, topped with a dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of maple syrup or traditional lingonberry syrup. The tartness of the lingonberries pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the syrup and cream, creating a balanced and delightful flavor experience.
