My Mom used to make this as a special breakfast treat when we had company or for holidays. It is a baked pancake/custard. I like it with syrup and sausages served on the side. The Finns would often serve with jam or fruit preserves and of course coffee.

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.

Unlike most pancakes, this cardamom-scented version hailing from Finland is baked rather than fried or grilled, giving it a soft, puffed-up interior and a delicately crisp crust.
