Eammon’s request Pannukakku

Recently Eammon told me that he was craving one of those puffy, sweet, lemon things with the sugar on top that I make in the oven.  Well luckily for him and his cravings I understood that he wanted a Finnish oven pancake (Pannukakku.)

This oven pancake is super simple to make as there aren’t any exotic ingredients or special cookware need, it’s a blender and a baking pan and you have yourself a super yummy, little bit sweet, the kids will love it, totally delicious meal.  Sometimes we’ll eat this for breakfast on the weekend or like the other night, we enjoyed it for dinner.  We like it very simple with just a squeeze of lemon juice and a dusting of confectioners sugar but you could easily add fruit on top or on the side, maybe a drizzle of jam, some cinnamon and sugar or even a dollop of whipped cream.  Anything that you’d put on regular pancakes or waffles would work, it’s up to you, your taste, imagination and creativity. 

When the pancake first comes out of the oven it is impressive, huge and puffy but within seconds it starts to deflate.  I could barely get this picture and even here it had already deflated quite a bit. 

I have posted the recipe over on Cook Lisa Cook so click on over and check it out and after you make it and impress your family, let me know what you think of the puffy pancake with the funny name…Pannukakku.  Here is the direct link to the recipe:  Pannukakku ~ Finnish oven pancake.
