This Finnish Pancake is such an easy recipe. No standing over the griddle forever flipping pancakes. Ken is the breakfast guy in this house and he always eats last and by himself as Amber and I have been gratefully served and have gobbled down his awesome pancakes. This is a pancake that you can all eat together.
If you put in room-temperature berries and leave them in the pancake for a few minutes they get warm and yummy. This pancake puffs up in the middle and then collapses so it is perfect to fill with fresh berries. You can serve it with your favorite syrup or just a light dusting of powdered sugar. You will love this one!! It is also so much fun to watch in the oven.

Elicia says
Can’t wait to try this! I don’t have a cast iron skillet. Anyone know if you can just use a cake pan or ceramic/glass casserole dish?
Noshing with the Nolands says
I would maybe try a glass pie plate and see if that works. A cast iron pan is a great investment. Think of all the lovely frittatas you can make. Tell me if it turned out for you please.
Elicia says
Thanks! i’ll give it a shot. But yes, you’re right I need to invest in a cast iron skillet!
