Pannukakku is a Finnish pancake made in a 9×13 glass casserole dish in the oven. It’s super simple to make, has a soft, custard-like center, and can be topped with any of your favorite pancake fixings.
My husband’s family is from Finland and I am so grateful for the multitude of traditional recipes that they’ve passed down to our little family. I’ve converted this recipe to use up some of the sourdough discard that’s been taking up residence in my fridge.
The first step is to melt lard or butter in your casserole dish. We use lard because our little has a dairy allergy. Add 40 grams of lard or butter to your dish, put the dish in the oven, and preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
While your oven preheats, start mixing your ingredients. In a medium bowl combine 200 grams of sourdough discard, 20 grams of flour, 380 grams of almond milk or your milk of choice, 24 grams of sugar, 3 grams of salt, and 4 grams of pure vanilla extract.
Once your oven is preheated, remove your casserole dish and pour in the batter. Bake the pannukakku for 45 minutes. The top will be lightly browned and the inside will be soft and gooey.
Our favorite toppings include pure maple syrup or berries with whipped cream. You could also top your pannukakku with powdered sugar. Let us know your favorite topping combination!
