plättpropp

Plättpropp is a Swedish term that literally translates to "pancake plug" and refers to a common type of small, round, and often sweet baked good. These are typically made from a simple batter, similar to that of pancakes or crepes, but baked in small, individual portions. They are distinct from traditional pancakes due to their size and often denser texture.

The preparation of plättpropp involves pouring small amounts of batter onto a griddle or into a specialized pan that creates these small, round shapes. They are usually cooked until golden brown on both sides. Common ingredients include flour, eggs, milk, sugar, and a leavening agent like baking powder.

Plättpropp are often served as a dessert or a treat, particularly for children. They are frequently enjoyed with various toppings such as jam, whipped cream, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar. While they can be made at home, they are also available from bakeries and cafes in Sweden. The exact flavor profile can vary, but they generally have a mild, sweet taste that makes them a versatile accompaniment to other sweet ingredients.
