Cuisine: Swedish
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the oats to soften and absorb the liquid, creating a creamy base.
- Crack the egg into the oat and milk mixture. Whisk thoroughly to ensure the egg is completely incorporated and creates a smooth batter.
- Add sugar, baking powder, and salt to the mixture. Stir gently but consistently to distribute the dry ingredients evenly throughout the batter.
- Melt the butter in a small pan or microwave. Allow it to cool slightly, then pour into the pancake batter and mix well.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the batter onto the hot skillet. Cook each pancake for approximately 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until small bubbles form on the surface.
- Carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate. Repeat the cooking process with remaining batter, adjusting heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Serve warm with traditional Swedish accompaniments like lingonberry jam, fresh berries, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Tips
- Let the oats soak in milk for at least 5-10 minutes to achieve a creamier, more tender pancake texture.
- Use a non-stick skillet and maintain medium heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
- Look for small bubbles on the surface of the pancake as a sign that it's ready to be flipped.
- If the batter seems too thick, add a splash of milk to thin it out.
- For extra flavor, try adding a dash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon to the batter.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low-temperature oven while preparing the entire batch.
- Experiment with toppings like lingonberry jam, fresh berries, or a drizzle of maple syrup for a truly Swedish experience.
