LATTYJA (FINNISH CREPES/PANCAKES)



Lattyja (Finnish Crepes/Pancakes) image

My mother-in-law is from Finland. She makes these little crepes for the grandchildren as a treat. They are great when served with sugar, jam or preserves. My husband and I make them with buttermilk, but my MIL uses regular milk. Your choice, depending on the flavor you like the most.

Provided by CookWannaBe

Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Yield 15-20 small crepes, 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 eggs
1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup white flour
1 cup milk (we use buttermilk in our recipe)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
butter, used for frying (extra)

Steps:

  • Use a bowl large enough to hold all ingredients.
  • Beat eggs, sugar and salt together.
  • Add flour, milk (1% or 2% can also be used) and melted butter.
  • Beat with whisk or hand mixer until not lumpy.
  • Adjust the mixture by adding additional milk to thin it. Thinner mixture works better.
  • You can make the mixture ahead of time and refrigerate; however you will need to add additional milk to thin it for frying.
  • Heat a non-stick pan at medium-low, add butter to coat the surface; use only enough to coat the pan. (We use a cast-iron mini-round indented pan for ours that acutally came from Sweden - thanks for reminding me to add this!).
  • While lifting the pan by the handle with one hand, pour some of the mixture onto the frying pan.
  • Tilt the pan so that the mix coats the surface of the frying pan; return to heat.
  • Cook until the crepe starts to brown; cook the other side until brown circles start to form.
  • Move the crepe around the pan to keep the pan greased and remove the crepe.
  • You can put sugar, jams or preserves onto the crepe and roll up to eat, or just dip and eat off of the plate. Serve with strawberry jam and whipped cream for the traditional Finnish dish.
  • They don't stay hot for long, so eat up while you can or there won't be any left for you!

FINNISH PANCAKES



FINNISH PANCAKES image

Categories     Breakfast     Fry     Quick & Easy

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups milk
1 tsp white vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
3 medium eggs
2 cups flour

Steps:

  • Add vinegar to milk in a medium mixing bowl. Stir and let stand for a few minutes. Add the sugar and eggs. Beat until combined and eggs are thoroughly mixed. Continue mixing at medium speed while adding flour in 1/4 cup increments, mixing thoroughly inbetween. Continue adding flour until until the thickness of the batter is such that drawing the beater across the surface while mixing leaves texture on the surface which disappears quickly. Thickening the batter too much will cause the pancakes to be overly dense. You may find that you have not used all the flour called for (2 cups per serving). Heat your favorite fry pan (I like to use a cast iron skillet) to medium high. Add a little frying oil followed by the pancake batter. Pancakes of all sizes work just as well. When the pancakes begin to brown on the underside, flip them and brown on the other side until they are done. These panackes can be eaten plain, with a little powdered sugar sprinkled on them or with your choice of syrup. Enjoy!

Tips for Making Perfect Finnish Pancakes:

  • Use fresh ingredients. The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your pancakes. Use fresh milk, eggs, and butter for the best results.
  • Whisk the batter until it is smooth. Lumps in the batter will result in unevenly cooked pancakes. Take the time to whisk the batter until it is completely smooth.
  • Let the batter rest for 15 minutes before cooking. This will allow the flour to absorb the liquid and will result in a more tender pancake.
  • Use a hot greased skillet. The skillet should be hot enough to cause the batter to sizzle when it is poured in. A well-greased skillet will prevent the pancakes from sticking.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. Cooking the pancakes over too high heat will cause them to burn on the outside before they are cooked through on the inside. Cook the pancakes over medium heat until they are golden brown on both sides.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately. Finnish pancakes are best served hot off the griddle. Top them with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Conclusion:

Finnish 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. With the tips provided in this article, you can make perfect Finnish pancakes every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give Finnish pancakes a try!
