The dish is similar to a Dutch Baby pancake, but it is typically prepared in a cast-iron skillet and uses fewer eggs. Pannukakkua has a light and airy texture with a slightly sweet flavor that is perfect for pairing with fresh fruit, berries, or jam. The dish's origins date back to the Middle Ages, and it has since become a Finnish staple and popular breakfast item around the world.
