This is my favourite one of these. Even though I never make it, it's nice to have it sometimes for dessert - it brings me so many memories. For an interesting oddity, the Finnish pancake is, to my knowledge, the only pancake in the world which is not circular but a square.

 

Finnish pancake

Ingredients:

2 eggs

8 dl milk

1 tsp baking powder

4 dl wheat flour

2 tbsp sugar

1 tsp salt

50g butter (melted)

 

How to do:

1. Preheat oven to 200-225C.

2. Whisk the eggs with the milk in a large bowl.

3. Combine the dry ingredients (baking powder, flour, sugar, salt) in another large bowl.

4. Whisk the egg-milk into the dry mixture.

5. Add the melted (not too hot) butter.

6. Pour the dough into a baking tray, which you have covered with greaseproof paper.

7. Bake the pancake in the bottom of the oven for 30-35 minutes, but keep an eye on it - you don't want it to burn!

8. Let it cool down for a few minutes and then cut it in large pieces.

The pancake should be about 1cm thick and soft in the middle.

This is traditionally served with whipped cream and strawberry jam.

You can also serve it with ice cream, honey, vanilla sauce, maple syrup, berries, etc. (just use your imagination - Yummy!).
