Finnish Pancakes, also known as pannukakku, are a breakfast staple in Finland. Unlike the classic American-style pancakes that are thick, Finnish pancakes are thin and delicate. They are a cross between a crepe and a pancake, making them melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The key to making the perfect pancake is to ensure the batter has the right consistency, which should be thin and runny. Traditionally, pancakes are served plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or with a fruity jam spread on top.

Instructions

1.	In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and add the melted butter. Whisk until combined.
2.	In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add gradually into the egg mixture, whisking constantly until a smooth batter forms.
3.	Add in the milk, vanilla extract, and whisk until well combined.
4.	Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Spoon a ladleful of pancake batter onto the pan.
5.	Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface.
6.	Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.
