FINNISH PANCAKES

Outside Thunder Bay, you won't find many places that serve the Hoito's style of Finnish pancakes, which bear no resemblance to fluffy American-style pancakes. At the restaurant, they are each the size of a dinner plate, heavy and dense.

PANNUKAKKU (FINNISH OVEN PANCAKE)



Pannukakku (Finnish Oven Pancake) image

I first ate pannukakku while living in Finland on a religious mission. It tastes something like a mix between a German pancake and custard. In Finland, it is usually served as a dessert with jam on top, but we like to eat it for breakfast with pancake syrup on top as well. It is now my kids' favorite breakfast and is requested regularly.

PANNU KAKKU (FINNISH OVEN PANCAKE)



Pannu Kakku (Finnish Oven Pancake) image

An eggy, buttery, oven pancake. This looks so good, I can't wait to try it. Putting the recipe hear for safe keeping. I got it off Erin's kitchen blog. Hope she doesn't mind. Update: Finally got to make this deliciously ooey, gooey pancake. I also added a dash of vanilla and would also recomend decreasing the butter to about 6 tbs from 8. I also preheated the oven to 400 degrees to melt the butter and then decreased the temp to 350 when I put the batter in. Oh so yummy! I will update the ingredients below so that the nutritional information is correct.

Tips:

  • Use a large ovenproof skillet or baking dish to make sure the pancakes have enough room to spread out and cook evenly.
  • Make sure the oven is preheated to the correct temperature before adding the pancake batter. This will help ensure that the pancakes cook evenly and don't burn.
  • Don't overmix the pancake batter. Overmixing can result in tough pancakes.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet or baking dish with pancake batter. This will prevent the pancakes from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the pancakes until they are golden brown on both sides. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
