Pannukakku

Good Morning! Its Sunday and that means tomorrow its back to waking up at 5 am and my husband starts his work week! Double boo! So today I decided to make my husbands favorite breakfast Pannukakku, which is a Finnish oven pancake.  This is something we have attempted before, but it was never the same as when his family made it. It was always either too eggy or just nothing like it was suppose to be. I have tried a couple from Pintrest like this pin. It was good but just not what we wanted. I had asked Nicholas to ask his grandmother for the recipe and FINALLY after months of bothering him he did yesterday morning so I made it today! Even though Laura and I are 1300 miles away from each other we still managed to make similar breakfasts this morning without planning!!! So here is a true pannukakku recipe from my husbands Finnish grandmother!

The Supplies

Pannukakku

4 eggs (beaten)

1 cup milk

1 cup flour
1 tbs sugar
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup butter

Directions

Step 2

1. With a mixer, blend eggs, flour, milk, sugar and salt until batter is smooth and free of chunks.

2. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.

3. Preheat oven to 475.

4. In a 9x13 pan add the butter and place in the oven until the butter is melted. 

5. Remove pan and add the batter

Step 4

6. Bake on the lowest rack for 10-12 minutes until the the middle is set. It will rise WAY above the sides and the middle will be extremely puffy but let it sit for a minute when you pull it out of the oven and it will deflate a lot.

7. Enjoy! His grandma suggests to squeeze lemon, sprinkle with powdered sugar and fresh berries! I used some jam that my dad made and Nicholas used regular pancake syrup!

Step 5

Fresh out of the oven! Already deflating

Finnish-ed Product.. lol

 

Definitely better then any recipe we have tried in the past!
