Pannukakku- Finnish Oven Pancakes
These Finnish Oven Pancakes are both hearty and delicious! They taste like a mixture of Crepes and French Toast.

Notes
I highly recommend using a 9 x 13 glass baking pan as opposed to a metal one. The recipe rises and cooks much nicer that way. We love to top our Pannukakku with homemade maple syrup. You might also want to try topping the recipe with jam, berries, whip cream, or cinnamon to add extra flavor. Adding vanilla is optional and the amount wasn't specified in the original recipe. I'd recommend adding 1 Teaspoon or less if you wish. I've tried this recipe with 2 eggs instead of 4 and I noticed the they weren't quite as fluffy. Either way, both tasted pretty good! If you are a serving a crowd, you can easily double the recipe. I would not recommend baking two pans at the same time. The recipe doesn't seem to cook or rise as well.
