Finnish pancakes, also known as pannukakku, are a classic breakfast dish in Finland. Traditionally, they are baked in the oven rather than cooked on a stovetop, resulting in a light and fluffy texture that is unlike any other pancake you've ever had. This recipe is a copy-cat version of the famous Hoito Restaurant's Finnish pancakes in Thunder Bay, Canada, which have become somewhat of a legend in the area. Served with a dollop of butter and a generous drizzle of syrup, these pancakes are the perfect way to start your day.

Instructions

1.	Preheat your oven to 425°F
2.	In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and salt until fully combined.
3.	Add in the milk and flour, mixing until thoroughly combined.
4.	Grease a cast-iron or oven-safe frying pan with butter or cooking spray.
5.	Pour the batter into the frying pan, spreading it evenly.
6.	Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the pancake is golden brown and puffy.
7.	Serve hot with your favorite toppings!

HEALTH & BENEFITS

While these pancakes are not the healthiest breakfast option, they do contain a good amount of protein and calcium from the eggs and milk.
If you’re looking to make them a bit healthier, try substituting some of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour or adding in some fresh berries for an extra nutrient boost.
