Ingredients for Swedish Pancakes with Raspberries

  • 1 large egg yolk

  • 2 tablespoons Splenda or other sugar substitute

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Pinch of salt

  • 240ml nonfat milk

  • 120ml whole-wheat flour

  • 3 tablespoons white flour

  • 3 egg whites

  • 130g fresh raspberries

How to make Swedish Pancakes with Raspberries

In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolk, Splenda, vanilla, and salt. Alternately whisk in the milk and flour, stirring well after each addition, to make a thin, smooth batter.

In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until they hold stiff peaks. Gently and quickly fold them into the pancake batter.

Lightly coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; place over medium- high heat. Drop about 2 tablespoons of batter into the skillet for each pancake. Cook as many pancakes at once as will fit comfortably, turning them when they are browned. Total cooking time is about 3 minutes per pancake. Serve with the berries.
