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.

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.

PANNUKAKKU



Pannukakku image

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.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Pancake Recipes

Yield Makes 8 wedges

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 whole green cardamom pods, seeds removed and crushed, pods discarded
1/4 cup sugar
2 cups milk
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Lingonberry jam, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Whisk together flour, salt, cardamom seeds, sugar, milk, 1/4 cup water, and the eggs in a large bowl. Let stand, covered, 20 minutes.
  • Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet in oven 10 minutes. Melt butter in skillet. Pour in batter; bake until puffed, about 25 minutes. Cut into wedges; serve with jam.

Tips:

  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or a non-stick skillet for best results.
  • Make sure the skillet is hot before adding the batter. This will help create a crispy crust.
  • Pour the batter into the center of the skillet and let it spread out evenly, tilting the skillet if needed.
  • Do not stir the batter once it is in the skillet. This will prevent the pancake from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the pancake over medium-low heat for 10-12 minutes, or until the top is set and the bottom is golden brown.
  • Flip the pancake carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown.
  • Serve the pancake immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, or fruit.

Conclusion:

Pannukakku is a delicious and versatile Finnish pancake that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized with a variety of toppings. Whether you are a fan of traditional pancakes or are looking for something new to try, pannukakku is sure to please. So next time you are in the mood for pancakes, give this Finnish recipe a try.
