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.

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 PANCAKES (PANNUKAKKU)



Finnish Oven Pancakes (Pannukakku) image

This high-rising traditional Finnish dish is a crispy exteriored cross between a pancake and a custard. Perfect for topping with both sweet and savoury goodies

Provided by Rebecca Lindamood

Categories     Main Dish

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 Tablespoons butter (1/2 of one stick, cut into three or four pieces)
4 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk (preferably whole milk)
1 pinch of salt
up to 4 Tablespoons sugar (optional)
splash of vanilla extract (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. When the oven temperature reaches about 300°F, place an 8- or 9-inch cake pan or 10-inch pie plate in the oven with the butter in it. The butter should melt, but not brown, while the oven finishes heating.
  • Place the eggs, f lour, milk, salt, sugar and vanilla (if using) in the carafe of a blender. Fix the cover in place and blend on high, stopping to scrape down the sides if necessary, until the mixture is smooth and even. When the oven is fully heated, and the butter is fully melted, pull the oven rack out far enough to work safely and pour the batter into the hot pan. Push the rack carefully back into the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the oven pancake has puffed quite high and is a deep golden brown. You can test the doneness by quickly inserting a butter knife in the center of the oven pancake. If the knife comes out clean, the pancake is done.
  • Remove the pan from the oven, cut immediately (it will deflate some, so don't worry!) and serve topped as desired.

PANNUKAKKU (FINNISH OVEN PANCAKE)



Pannukakku (Finnish Oven Pancake) image

I first ate pannukakku while living in Finland on a religious mission. It tastes something like a mix between a German pancake and custard. In Finland, it is usually served as a dessert with jam on top, but we like to eat it for breakfast with pancake syrup on top as well. It is now my kids' favorite breakfast and is requested regularly.

3 ⅓ cups milk
2 large eggs
½ cup margarine, melted and cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Mix flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder together in a large bowl. Add milk, eggs, margarine, and vanilla; mix thoroughly with an electric mixer. Batter will be fairly runny. Pour into the prepared baking dish.

Tips:

  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. This will help the pannukakku cook evenly and prevent it from sticking.
  • Make sure the butter is melted and the milk is warm before adding them to the batter. This will help the ingredients combine smoothly and prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the pannukakku tough.
  • Pour the batter into the skillet quickly and evenly. This will help the pannukakku cook evenly.
  • Bake the pannukakku at a high temperature for the first 10 minutes. This will help it rise and get a crispy crust.
  • Reduce the temperature after 10 minutes and continue baking until the pannukakku is cooked through. The center of the pannukakku should be set and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  • Let the pannukakku cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it hold its shape.
  • Serve the pannukakku with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, or fruit.

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. Whether you like it sweet or savory, there is a pannukakku recipe out there for you. So next time you are looking for something new to try, give pannukakku a try. You won't be disappointed!
