Swedish Oven Pancakes
Swedish oven pancakes are fluffy, custard-like baked treats with a golden crust, perfect for brunch or dessert, and easily customizable with fruit, jam, or syrup.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat eggs and milk together in a bowl.
- Add dry ingredients and beat well to combine.
- Pour half the batter into a hot, buttered 9 x 13-inch pan or frypan.
- Bake until the top is firm.
- Spread fruit, jam, jelly, or cranberry sauce over the pancake.
- Pour the remaining batter over the top.
- Bake until light brown in a 370°F (188°C) oven.
Tips & Substitutions
For a fluffier pancake, let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes before pouring it into the pan. You can substitute almond milk for regular milk to make it dairy-free, and use whole wheat flour for added nutrition. For a sweeter touch, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Ensure your pan is hot enough to create a nice crust on the bottom.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Swedish oven pancakes warm, topped with your choice of fruit, syrup, or whipped cream. They pair beautifully with a side of crispy bacon or sausages for a hearty breakfast. For a delightful dessert, consider serving alongside a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of Ma'S Rice Pudding.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pancake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through. You can also microwave it for 30-60 seconds, but the oven method will keep it crispier.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter a day in advance and store it in the fridge. Just give it a good stir before using. However, it's best to bake the pancakes fresh for the best texture. You can also bake them ahead and reheat as needed.
What can I use instead of eggs?
For an egg substitute, you can use 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce or 1/4 cup mashed banana per egg. Silken tofu blended until smooth also works well. Keep in mind that these alternatives may slightly change the texture and flavor of the pancake.
Can I freeze Swedish oven pancakes?
Yes, you can freeze the pancakes once they have cooled completely. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat from frozen in the oven or microwave.
