My pastor's wife is Finnish (her parents came from Finland) and this recipe of hers reminded me of the Danish Aebelskivers. Seems like pancakes are a real Scandanavian staple. They could be made in the Aebelskiver pan.

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.

Time 20m

Yield 6 8-inch pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large eggs
1 tablespoon/14 grams sugar
Pinch of salt
2 cups/240 grams whole milk
1 1/4 cups/200 grams all-purpose flour
Vegetable oil as needed for frying

Steps:

  • In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, sugar and salt. Add the milk and flour and whisk until just blended and no pockets of flour are left; do not overmix.
  • Heat about 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet set over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, add 3/4 cup of batter to the pan. Tilt the pan to allow the batter to spread evenly to about 8 inches in diameter. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until the sides of the pancake are set and bubbles begin to appear in the middle. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes or until fully set and golden on both sides. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Tips for Making the Best Swedish-Finnish Pancakes:

- Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh milk, eggs, and butter will make a big difference in the taste of your pancakes. - Make sure your pan is hot before you add the batter. This will help the pancakes cook evenly and prevent them from sticking. - Pour the batter into the pan in a thin, even layer. This will help the pancakes cook quickly and evenly. - Don't overcrowd the pan. Leave some space between each pancake so that they have room to cook. - Cook the pancakes over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly without burning. - Flip the pancakes once they are golden brown on the bottom. Be careful not to flip them too early, or they will fall apart. - Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings. Butter, sugar, syrup, and berries are all popular choices.

Conclusion:

Swedish-Finnish pancakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make these pancakes at home and enjoy a taste of Scandinavian cuisine.
