PANNUKAKKU



Pannukakku image

Pannukakku, or Finnish oven pancake, is similar to a Dutch baby. It's characterized by its crispy, browned edges and smooth, custard-like center - we use an extra egg yolk and a generous amount of butter to ensure the center cooks up perfectly. For the best rise, make sure your pan is well heated. Because the pannukakku begins to deflate after it comes out of the oven, it's best served immediately while still warm; be sure to have your toppings ready to go. Consider going the more traditional route with a smear of lingonberry jam.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
2 cups milk, at room temperature
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Notes)
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Jam, fresh fruit and whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and place a 9-by-13-inch metal pan on the rack. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a small bowl in the microwave and set aside to cool.
  • Whisk the eggs and yolk in a large bowl until well combined and frothy, about 1 minute. Add the milk, granulated sugar, salt, vanilla and cooled butter to the egg mixture and whisk until incorporated and frothy, about 30 seconds more. Whisk the flour into the egg mixture until just combined (it's OK if there are a few small lumps). Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter to the preheated pan in the oven and heat until the butter melts and bubbles (take care not to let the butter brown). Pour the batter into the pan; it should sizzle. Bake until the pannukakku puffs up around the edges and bubbles in the center, the top, bottom and edges are browned and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Immediately dust with confectioners' sugar, cut into squares and serve with jam, fresh fruit and whipped cream.

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.
