How to Make Finnish Oven Pancake Pannukakku

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch oven-safe skillet or baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, sugar, and salt until smooth. Make sure there are no lumps.
  3. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in a fluffier pancake.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared skillet.
  5. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the pancake is set and lightly golden brown around the edges. The center might still appear slightly jiggly.
  6. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Top with fresh seasonal fruits like berries, sliced apples, or pears.
  7. Enjoy your warm and delicious Finnish Pannukakku!
