Pannu Kakku Recipe (Finnish Oven Pancake)
I’d like to share with you a family recipe - a traditional Finnish oven pancake, better known as Pannu Kakku. It’s a thick, oven-baked pancake with crispy edges and custard like interior. And also incredibly easy to make coming together in just minutes! Smother it in maple syrup and/or, my personal favorite, top with fresh berries and cinnamon, but really the possibilities are endless once you discover this delicious recipe, a true delight for the taste buds!
