Transport your taste buds to Finland with the golden, oven-baked delight that is Pannukakkua, a Finnish pancake that's simplicity at its most delicious. This easy-to-make dish, featuring a velvety batter of eggs, milk, all-purpose flour, and a touch of vanilla, bakes to puffy perfection with irresistibly crisp edgesβall thanks to preheating the baking dish with a swirl of melted butter. Crafted in just 10 minutes of prep time and baked to golden-brown beauty, this versatile recipe pairs beautifully with fresh berries, a dusting of powdered sugar, or a drizzle of maple syrup. Perfect as a breakfast centerpiece, a quick dessert, or a comforting brunch offering, Pannukakkua delivers classic Nordic flavor in every bite.
Preheat your oven to 225Β°C (435Β°F). Place a 9x13 inch (or similar-sized) baking dish in the oven to heat while you prepare the batter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until pale and well-combined.
Gradually add the flour and salt, whisking to prevent lumps from forming.
Slowly pour in the milk, continuing to whisk until the batter is smooth. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Carefully remove the heated baking dish from the oven and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt completely, swirling it around the dish to coat the bottom and sides.
Pour the batter into the hot, buttered dish. The heat will help create crispy edges.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed up and golden brown on top. It will deflate slightly as it cools.
Allow the Pannukakkua to cool for a few minutes before slicing into pieces. Serve warm with optional toppings like fresh berries, powdered sugar, maple syrup, or whipped cream.
