Saffranspannkaka (Swedish Saffron Pancake)

Saffranspannkaka is a traditional Swedish dessert that combines the subtle flavor and aroma of saffron with the sweetness of sugar and the fluffiness of pancakes. This recipe is a modern twist on the classic dessert, featuring a delicate balance of flavors and textures. The saffron-infused batter is cooked to perfection in a hot skillet, resulting in a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior. The pancakes are then served with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of sugar, adding a touch of elegance to this comforting dessert.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter. Add the saffron threads to the egg mixture and whisk until well combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. The batter should still be slightly lumpy.
2
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the batter onto the skillet or griddle. Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to dry. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
3
Serve the pancakes warm, topped with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of powdered sugar. You can also add a few fresh berries or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor and texture.
