Swedish Pancakes, or Plättar as they are known in Sweden, are a popular breakfast and brunch dish. These thin pancakes are similar to crepes but slightly thicker and are traditionally served with lingonberry jam and whipped cream. They are a perfect weekend breakfast option that can be customized to suit your mood or taste preferences. Whether you prefer a sweet pancake with berries and cream or a savory pancake with ham and cheese, Swedish Pancakes are sure to satisfy.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and half-and-half until smooth.
2.	In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
3.	Gradually whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
4.	Stir in the melted butter.
5.	Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
6.	Ladle 1/4 cup of batter into the pan for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
7.	Serve topped with your favorite syrup, whipped cream, or berries.
