Somewhere Between Crepes, Pancakes and Heaven: Finish Pancakes

Finnish pancakes are not fluffy short-stacks but instead flat, plate-size pancakes. And they were the only pancakes we knew. Finnish pancakes have a lot going for them, including their tenderness, a lovely caramelized finish, and an exceptional amount of surface area for loading on the maple syrup and berries. They live at the intersection of crepe and, well, pannukakku (that’s Finnish for pancakes). They were an easy meal using accessible ingredients that could be made and served in the bush. The Hoito restaurant, located in the basement of the historic Finnish Labour Temple in Thunder Bay Ontario, popularized the pancakes way back when, and up until recently, continued to serve thousands each week to locals and tourists alike.

I tracked down a recipe and worked on it until my Finnish pancakes are evoking the Friday lunches of my girlhood. The batter is a one-bowl affair, leaving in some lumps isn’t only okay but preferable, and there’s little downtime, as the mixture needs only 30 minutes to rest.
