"My Mom used to make this as a special breakfast treat when we had company or for holidays. It is a baked pancake/custard. I like it with syrup and sausages served on the side. The Finns would often serve with jam or fruit preserves and of course coffee."

Desperate for a finnish oven pancake recipe that would finally work, i turned in desperation to this site. I found pannu kakku without much difficulty and made it for my family for supper. I had a friend over and she said she had never tasted anything quite like it before. I also had the problem with the liquidy pooling and there is no reason to haveto use paper towel simply: take a large serving spoon and stir about 20 minutes through cooking. This ensures even cooking heat throughout and helps the cooked custard on the bootom to rise and allow milk mixture to cook. Hope this helps and so many thanks to Liisa N. This recipe saved me!

Made this for the first time this morning. Followed the recipe exactly and it came out perfect! I took another reviewer's advice and stirred it after it had been in the oven for 10 minutes. I then let it sit for approximately 10 - 15 minutes after it was done baking before cutting into it. Served it with syrup and strawberries. Would probably make an excellent dessert with fresh berries and whipped cream too!

I made this for my daughter's Finnish country report today. Instead of adding melted butter to the mix, I melted it in the pan in the oven and poured the mix into it and baked it for 45 minutes because of the other reviews regarding runniness. It came out perfect. I did not get to taste it until after class so it was not hot. However, even cold it was yummy. I served with lemon wedges & powdered sugar, or strawberry jam, or maple syrup. I had mine with lemon & sugar - OH YUM! Thank you, this is going to be made more often at our house.

It was a delicious breakfast. I used 1/2 wholemeal floue and 1/2 white and I added some raspberry sause to the batter and I used 1 cup less milk after reading the reviews and the comment about it being too watery.

For an authentic version, here is my Finnish grandmother's Pannu Kakku recipe:melt 1/4 cup butter directly in 9x13 pan in stove. Beat together 3 cups milk, 3 eggs, 1 1 /4 cup flour, 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon salt. Pour over melted butter in pan. Bake 350 for 30 minutes or until puffed and golden. This is Pannu Kakku!!

I've made this a couple times, but it has been awhile. I vaguely remembered one batch being not-quite-enough for my 6 voracious breakfast eaters. So I attempted to 1 1/2x the batch, but ended up doubling, because I accidentally put in too much sugar. Well, I used sucanat instead of sugar, which gave this the most carmelly, delicious touch. I thought my 11x15 glass pan would suffice, but it "grew" over the sides, so next time I will just use 2 9x13 pans. The mess (my fault, not a part of the recipe, lol) and wait were worth it. We did not use anything extra, because the custard was sweet enough. I tried a bit of sour cream because ours turned out so sweet, and that was good too, though plain was perfection. I highly recommend trying sucanat (aka rapadura). While this was baking, we checked the weather in Finland, and found they are quite a bit warmer than we are today (we had snow yesterday here in Alberta), even though they are much further north!

<P>I'm a Mom of three boys: 19, 16, 13 (Josh, Jake and Jonah) and a 1 yr old golden retriever-Jethro. I work full-time as a Medicare compliance analyst for a non-profit health insurer. I love to cook - although I don't always have enough time to do as I'd like to do. I don't especially care to do the clean up though- but who does?? Food in general brings people together and makes people feel at ease. My boys love to help out in the kitchen-especially if I'm baking bread or baking sweet treats for them. If anyone were to ask them what I put in a recipe - first two ingredients they'd list would be olive oil and garlic -- (well not for the sweet stuff..at least)! I'm constantly browsing to see how I can alter/influence my family's eating - as well as trying to get it on the table quickly! My boys are all hockey players - so I spend a lot of time at the ice arena. When I have time of my own..I try to get on the golf course or read cookbooks.</P>
