“Dinner is better than Life for it always ends up with a sweet Dessert!”
That’s what my colleague onboard M.T. STOC MARCIA always say whenever I serve a dessert on dinner.
Swedish always have a sweet life on a thursday’s dinner, this is to complement their traditional soup “Ärtsoppa”.
Onboard a Swedish ship I also cook and serve Ärtsoppa & Pancakes every thursday dinner.
All crew are looking forward to this thursday dinner treat. Scandinavians are the most excited on this one.

Now on with the cooking…
Swedish Pancakes
Prep. time: 10 minutes + at least 2 hour chilling inside the fridge 4’C
Cooking time: 2 minutes on each side
Difficulty: Easy
Makes; 3ltrs. Pancake batter/ 40 Swedish Pancakes
Good for 12crew
You will need;
16 med.size(60g) fresh eggs
1 tsp. fine salt
4 Tbsp. white sugar
2 tsp. vanilla liquid
2 ltrs. fresh milk {atleast 3%fat} or 2x410grms(384ml) evap.milk & add water to make 2ltrs.
500 grms. (4cups) plain flour {all-purpose flour}
For frying;
Butter{unsalted}-quantity defends on the size of pan you will use.
I recommend a non-stick pan for best result, although onboard I use an “Industrial Frying Table” to make my job easier.
Toppings;
500 ml. whipping cream {atleast 35%fat} use a chilled electric egg beater/mixer, whisk for a minute or until stiff peak form.
Jam of your choice. {Swedish choice is Raspberry, Cloudberry and Strawberry jams.}
-Optional fresh mint to garnish.
Direction;
On a large mixing bowl, whisk all ingredients together.
Cover with plastic film wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to 2 days.
Heat your pan on Med-High Heat, add butter just to coat the surface of the pan.
Pour Swedish Pancake batter on the pan, just enough to make a thin layer.{a bit thicker than crepes}
Fry it for 2-minutes on each side. Transfer on a serving dish or plate.
Add toppings, serve and enjoy your meal 😉
Here’s how I do it;












Prep your pan, butter and turner.

Setting is 1-10… I set it on #8 for frying Pancakes.


Turn-over one by one.
