Allergen Warning
Contains: gluten, dairy, eggs
Equipment needed
oven, oven-proof dish
Preheat oven to 225C and place a generous knob of butter in a large oven-proof dish or sheet pan to melt in the oven.
Whisk eggs and sugar together, then gradually whisk in milk.
Add flour and salt, whisking until you have a smooth, thin batter with no lumps.
Pour the batter into the hot buttered pan, tilting to spread evenly.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until the pannukakku is puffed up and golden brown on top.
The pancake will deflate slightly as it cools, which is perfectly normal.
Cut into generous squares and serve immediately with jam and a dollop of whipped cream.
Storage Instructions
Best served immediately from the oven while puffed. Refrigerate leftovers up to 2 days. Reheat in oven at 200C for 5-10 minutes. Does not freeze well.
Cultural Context
The traditional dessert that follows Thursday's pea soup (hernekeitto) — this pairing is so ingrained in Finnish culture that school cafeterias, military bases, and workplaces all follow it faithfully every single Thursday.
