Paras pannariohje // Finnish Oven Pancake

Rakastan pannukakkua. En vain tee sitä kovin usein, koska mieheni ei erityisemmin pidä siitä (en ymmärrä!) ja kokonaisen pellillisen syöminen yksin ei ole se kaikkein paras idea. Mutta eilinen kaatosateinen ja hämärä ilta kertakaikkiaan vaati pannukakun tuoksua seurakseen. Ja pannukakku täytyy tietenkin tehdä äidin reseptillä, sillä googlen tarjoamat ohjeet olivat ihan outoja. (Miksi laittaa pannukakkuun kaksi desiä sokeria?)

Äidin pannukakku

8 dl maitoa

2 munaa

4 dl vehnäjauhoja

n. 1 rkl sokeria

1 tl suolaa

1 tl leivinjauhetta

1 tl vaniljasokeria

n. 50 g voita

Sekoita kuivat aineet keskenään ja lisää maito vähitellen. Vatkaa munat joukkoon, anna turvota hetki. Lisää joukkoon sulatettu rasva ja kaada uunipellille. Paista 200 asteessa kunnes pannukakku on kiinteä ja päältä ruskea (ehkä noin puoli tuntia, uunista ja pannukakun paksuudesta riippuen).

Have you ever tried the Finnish pancake? It's an oven baked dish, very tasty and very easy to make. It's little like the small pancakes fried on a pan, and on the other hand it's nothing like them. It's very hard to describe, you should just try it. In my family, pancake was usually served for dessert after soup or as an evening snack. But if you like to make the American-style pancakes for breakfast, I see no reason why you wouldn't love this in the morning.

I love oven pancake. I just don't make it that often, as my boyfriend doesn't really like it (can't understand that!) and eating the whole baking tray alone isn't such a good idea. But yesterday was a perfect night for pancake - rainy and gloomy. And so I had to make it. And when I make pancake, I always use my mother's recipe. It's the right one in my opinion, better than anything Google can offer you.

Finnish Oven Pancake

8 dl milk
2 eggs
4 dl white flour
around 1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla sugar
around 50 g butter

Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl and add milk little by little. Mix eggs to the batter and let sit for a while. Melt the butter and add to the batter. Pour on a baking tray and bake in 200 Celsius until the pancake has set and is turning golden brown (around 30 minutes probably, depending on your oven and the thickness of your pancake.)
