If you've never had Norwegian pancakes, they are somewhere in-between crepes and traditional American pancakes texture-wise. They are soft and light with a lacy exterior and go great with butter, powdered sugar, jams, or even savory options. I love making them for brunch parties or lazy Sunday mornings!

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar.

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add the eggs, whole milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Whisk just until the mixture is combined. Let the batter sit for 15-30 minutes.

Melt a small pat of butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat***. Pour in about 1/4 cup of batter, and swirl it until you have a thin, round pancake.

Cook the pancake until the bottom is golden brown and the top is set and has a few bubbles, about 30-60 seconds. Flip and cook until the other side is set and golden brown, another 30-60 seconds.

Repeat with the remaining batter. You can place the pancakes on a sheet pan in a warm oven (the lowest setting) to keep them hot while you cook.

Serve the finished pancakes with your toppings of choice. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Batter Consistency Magic 🥄
Let the pancake batter rest for 30 minutes before cooking to allow flour to fully hydrate and create smoother, more tender pannekaker.
Non-Stick Pan Perfection 🍳
Use a well-seasoned cast iron or non-stick pan and lightly grease with butter between each pancake for golden, evenly cooked edges.
Thin Swirl Technique 🌀
Tilt and rotate the pan quickly after pouring batter to create those characteristic thin, lacy Norwegian pancake edges.
Temperature Sweet Spot 🌡️
Aim for medium heat - too hot and pancakes burn, too cool and they become thick and doughy instead of delicate.
Rolling Pro Tip 🌯
Stack and roll pannekaker with sweet fillings like jam or cream, or fold for savory versions with cheese or ham.
