How to Make Swedish Pancakes Plttar

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs until light and frothy.
Gradually whisk in the milk and half-and-half until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the melted butter.
Let the batter rest for at least 1 hour (or up to 2 hours) in the refrigerator. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in fluffier pancakes.
Preheat a plättar pan (or a 6-inch cast-iron skillet) over medium heat.
Lightly grease the pan or skillet with butter.
Pour 2 rounded tablespoons of batter into each cup or onto the skillet, leaving some space between each pancake.
Cook for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the plättar immediately with your favorite toppings, such as lingonberry jam, stewed fruit, and sour cream.
**Variation: For larger pancakes**, increase the batter per pancake to make 8-inch pancakes. Adjust cooking time accordingly.
**Layered Plättar Dessert:** Layer several pancakes with a generous amount of lingonberry, bilberry, or blackberry jam between them. Once cool, frost the stack with whipped cream.
