My Mom used to make this as a special breakfast treat when we had company or for holidays. It is a baked pancake/custard. I like it with syrup and sausages served on the side. The Finns would often serve with jam or fruit preserves and of course coffee.

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

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.

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 fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your pannukakku.
  • Make sure your oven is preheated before you start cooking. This will help the pannukakku to cook evenly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the pannukakku tough.
  • Pour the batter into the preheated pan or baking dish immediately. Don't let it sit around, or it will start to thicken.
  • Bake the pannukakku until it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will usually take about 20-30 minutes.
  • Serve the pannukakku warm with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, sugar, cinnamon, jam, and berries.

Conclusion:

Pannukakku is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its simple ingredients and classic flavor, pannukakku is a Finnish comfort food that is sure to please everyone at your table.
