Nordic pancakes are more like thin crepes. Called pannkakor, they’re typically served as a dessert in Sweden and Norway, with a wide variety of toppings including fruit jam and whipped cream. They may also include fillings like shrimp and cheese. These pancakes date to the Middle Ages in Sweden and are mentioned in writings from the 14th century. This recipe is easy to make and should always be fried in butter for an authentic flavor. In the US, these pancakes are popular with Scandinavian descendants.
