Pannari or Finnish "oven pancake"

Yes, this is the fun part nro 2 for tonight: Pannari or traditional Finnish oven-baked pancake. I remember this as an absolutely tasty evening snack from my childhood, which was easier to prepare than the usual pancakes and satisfied the sweet teeths of the whole family. There is also salty versions of it topped with cheese, ham or other things, but I have never tried any of them. Pancakes must be sweet ;)

I looked for the traditional grandmother's recipe for a while and this one from Sorsanpaistaja blog was selected as a pretty good match with my pancake memories! I think if I continue making pancakes all the time, this soon is going to turn into a pancake blog ;)

Pannukakku

6 dl täysmaitoa
2 munaa
1 1/2 dl sokeria
1/2 tl suolaa
reilu 3 dl vehnäjauhoja
50 g (tai omantunnon mukaan) voita sulatettuna

1. Kaada maito kulhoon, hajota sekaan munat. Lisää muut aineet ja sekoita. Anna turvota.

2. Lämmitä uuni 200-225 asteeseen. Kaada taikina leivinpaperilla vuoratulle uunipannulle ja kaada sulatettu voi tasaisesti päälle. Paista noin 20 minuuttia kunnes pannari on kauniin kullanruskeaa.

3. Tarjoa heti esimerkiksi mansikoiden kera.

Finnish pancake


6 dl milk
2 eggs
1,5 dl sugar
0,5 tsp salt
about 3 dl wheat flour
50 g melt butter (or according to your taste...)

First advice: no fat-free milk, no margarine. It only tastes like the real thing, if you use real milk and real butter, and maybe add an extra egg ;) I reduced the amount of sugar to 1 dl though.

1. Mix milk and eggs in a bowl. Add sugar, salt and flour and whisk well. Let it rest for some time.

2. Heat the oven to 200-225C. Cover a baking tray with baking paper and pour the dough on it. Pour the melt butter on top of it. Bake about 20 minutes until the pancake is golden brown.

3. Enjoy with strawberries. Jam, curd, whipped cream or ice cream also work with it :)
