Pannukakku (Finnish Apple Pancake)
This is a recipe from the old country (Finland) that my mother makes. My kids love it. I made it this morning for breakfast in my monster cast iron frying pan.
Ingredients
- 1 large apple quartered and sliced thinly (or more if you like lots of apple). I should have used a second apple.
- 2 Tbsp melted butter
- 6 eggs
- 1 c milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2/3 c flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Cinnamon sugar for sprinkling (1:3)
Method
- Preheat the oven to 425 F.
- Melt butter in large oven proof frying pan (or you can make it in a 9 x 12 glass baking dish).
- Add the apples and toss to coat. Bake the apples for 5 minutes.
- While the apples are baking, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, flour, baking powder and salt until you have a smooth batter. Remove pan from oven and pour the batter over the apples.
- Sprinkle liberally with the cinnamon sugar and bake for 20 minutes or until the pancake is puffed and browned.
- Serve immediately plain or with maple syrup or whatever you like on your pancakes.
