I remember the first time I ate this growing up. The name sounded so exotic. My mother had learned the Finnish oven baked pancake recipe from a close family friend. The dish was served warm and topped with syrup. It was sweet and comforting. And although all of the ingredients were familiar to me, the almost soufflé like appearance and custard like texture turned this into something completely different and very special. The ratio of milk to eggs and sugar varies based on personal preference, this is how we like it the most.
As organic as possible:
1 stick Butter
1 cup Flour
4 Eggs
1 cup Milk
1/2 cup Sugar
1 Tbsp Vanilla
Preheat the oven to 400°. Melt the butter in a 13 x 9 inch pan until bubbly and starting to brown. In the mean time, add eggs, milk, vanilla and sugar to flour. Mix until all is incorporated. When butter is ready remove pan from oven and turn down to 375°. Carefully swirl the butter around the pan to cover bottom and sides. Pour batter into the pan and bake 25-30 minutes, until center is set (not runny). Serve warm with syrup or fruit.
So good! The baked sides are like a chewy doughnut and the custard is like a creme brûlée. So fun and easy to make!!
Mmm I love that description Rhonda:) I’m going to have to try making it now for sure!
