Tangy, thin Swedish Pancakes are cooked up and piled high. Serve with brown sugar bananas.
I’ve mentioned before, my Dad is a great cook. I remember the first time he let me make Swedish Pancakes during the holidays. Boy, was I important! I got to mix the batter. Grease the pan. Learned how to move the pan just right to make sure the pancake is thin and crispy.
While the recipe may have changed over time, making these reminds me of how proud I was of making these pancakes for the first time. Now I might have to pass this recipe for Swedish Pancakes with Brown Sugar Bananas to my Dad!
How to make Swedish Pancakes:
Mix all the pancake ingredients in a bowl.
It’s important to keep the bowl next to the stove with a ladle. In a small saute pan, add a small dab of oil to the pan. You can see my setup here. Also, make sure that you have a plate to add your pancakes. They cook quickly!
From there, you will add a ladle full of batter, then spin the pan in a rotating fashion to thin it out. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
Flip and cook for around 30 seconds for the second side.
Tips for making fruit-filled pancakes:
- Don’t like bananas? The sauce works well with many other fruits like peaches and plums.
- No buttermilk on hand? Using soured milk works just as well. To sour milk, take 1 cup of regular milk then add 1 Tbs vinegar or apple cider vinegar and let sit for 5-10 minutes.
I posted a video on my Instagram a while ago on how to move the pan.
How to make Brown Sugar Bananas:
Chop the bananas. Add butter to the pan and start to melt. Add the brown sugar.
Next, add the bananas. Let it cook for another minute, then add the water cinnamon, and nutmeg. Take off of the heat.
How to Roll Swedish Pancakes:
Fill the center of the pancake, hook the fork into the side, and ‘roll’.
Here is a helpful photo tutorial below for the ‘roll’. This can be used for these pancakes, or crepes too.
You know my husband doesn’t roll his Swedish Pancaked **gasp**!?!? Finish off with more sauce on top. Do you see this deliciousness??
And here you are…..

These look great! For a long time that is the only way I would eat bananas – sauteed in brown sugar. YUM!

These remind me of the swedish pancakes my grandma always made! I never got the recipe from her, so maybe I’ll try yours and see if it is close to what I remember!
Hope that these are close for you! It’s always great to relive memories of childhood through food.
