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.

FINNISH OVEN PANCAKE (PANNUKAKKU)



Finnish Oven Pancake (Pannukakku) image

Posted for ZWT6 Scandinavian Region - Finland. I posted a similar recipe to this but it called for making your own "cream of wheat" first and then the pancake. This is similar in that it bakes in the oven but seems a bit simpler. I want to try both methods and thought it worth posting this one too. There are 3 other recipes for this recipe but they do not include all the ingredients I found on scandinavianfoods.com recipe site. Prepare to let the batter rest 30 minutes prior to baking (I included it in the prep time). Use any seasonal fresh fruit to top this warm pancake for a lovely dessert.

FINNISH PANCAKES



Finnish Pancakes image

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.

Categories     breakfast, brunch, pancakes, main course

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:

  • Use a large, ovenproof skillet or baking dish to ensure that the pancakes have enough room to spread out and cook evenly.
  • Preheat the skillet or baking dish in the oven before adding the batter. This will help to create a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dense pancakes.
  • Let the pancakes rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow them to set and become easier to handle.
  • Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Finnish oven pancakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized with a variety of toppings and fillings.
