Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Milk (preferably whole)
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted, plus extra for the skillet)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk and melted butter. Whisk until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. The batter should be smooth and slightly thin, similar to a crepe batter. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of butter.
Pour about 1/3 cup of batter into the hot skillet, tilting the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.
Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to dry and the bottom is golden. Flip the pancake carefully using a spatula, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fully cooked.
Transfer the cooked pancake to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding a small amount of butter to the skillet as needed.
Serve the Finnish pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, whipped cream, maple syrup, or lingonberry jam.
