PLäTTAR (SWEDISH-FINNISH PANCAKES)
My pastor's wife is Finnish (her parents came from Finland) and this recipe of hers reminded me of the Danish Aebelskivers. Seems like pancakes are a real Scandanavian staple. They could be made in the Aebelskiver pan.

ÅLAND ISLANDS PANCAKE (FINNISH PANCAKE)
There is only one other recipe like this on Food.com, but this one is a bit different in that there are no raisins and uses cardamom (very Finnish!) as flavoring. The Ålands Pancake starts off with a base of Semolina Porridge (prepared Cream of Wheat cereal), and is baked in a rectangular pan, then sliced and topped with cloudberry jam. Serving size is a guess, as the Scandi-Home source didn't provide the info.

Steps:
- First make the semolina porridge by warming the milk in a saucepan and gradually adding the cream of wheat while whisking continuously. Let simmer for about 15 minutes stirring continuously. This will take less time if you are using the "1 minute Cream of Wheat". Leave to cool completely.
- Whisk eggs and sugar until foamy. Add all other ingredients, including the cooled down porridge and stir well to combine.
- Pour the pancake mixture in to a greased oven proof dish and bake in 400F oven for 20-25 minutes until firm. Serve with a dollop of cloudberry jam (available at IKEA).

Steps:
- Heat the semolina flour and milk together in a saucepan until it thickens. Allow that mixture to cool for 5-10 minutes and prepare the remaining ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, mix sugar, salt, cardamom, and eggs. Add this mixture to the cooled semolina porridge.
- Add the flour to the mixture and stir to incorporate.
- Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish, top with pats of butter and bake at 375 degrees F for 45 to 60 minutes until golden brown on top.
- While the pancake bakes, make a prune sauce by soaking the prunes in enough water to cover them for about 30 minutes.
- Add them to a saucepan, and then add a small amount of water to cover. Simmer them for 15-20 minutes until most the water is gone.
- Add 1 tsp of potato flour to thicken the mixture, stirring to incorporate. Simmer for another 1-2 minutes.
- Allow cooling slightly before serving. Sviskonkräm can be made up to a week in advance.
- Serve Ålandspannkaka hot or cold, and top with stewed prunes, jam, fresh berries, yogurt or whipped cream.

ÅLAND PANCAKE - FINNISH PANCAKE
Posted for ZWT6 - Scandinavian Region - From Finland. The Finnish recipe site I found this recipe on actually categorizes this as a "dessert" recipe and not a breakfast recipe. This is not the normal round pancake Americans first think of when using the word pancake! Served with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. You will make what they call a "Cream of Wheat" first and let it cool and then prepare the "pancake".

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your pancakes.
- Make sure your baking powder is fresh. Old baking powder will not make your pancakes rise properly.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make your pancakes tough.
- Cook the pancakes over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly without burning.
- Flip the pancakes only once. Flipping them too often will make them dry.
- Serve the pancakes immediately. Pancakes are best when they are fresh off the griddle.
Conclusion:
Finnish pancakes are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. With their crispy edges and fluffy interiors, they are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new pancake recipe to try, give Finnish pancakes a try. You won't be disappointed.
