finnish strawberry pancake
July 3, 2013 § 45 Comments
After rising early last week I sat down with a cup of coffee and started reading the latest posts on my favorite blogs. I found this marvelous breakfast recipe from thethankfulheart. Having all the ingredients on hand I stood up and made Rhonda’s finnish pancakes. Right then and there, I made it and it was out of this world. Rhonda used raspberries in her pancake and I only had strawberries. However, I am certain these finnish pancakes are wonderful whatever fruit is used. I imagine peaches a little later in the season.
You know this is good when you leave it on the stove with one piece missing only to come back an hour later and it was gone! Yes, the 15 year old of the house got ahold of it! He said he couldn’t stop eating it after pouring pure maple syrup on top.
Here is the recipe exactly how Rhonda posted it. However, I know you would enjoy a visit to her blog.
- 1 cup flour
- 2 tab. sugar
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 6 oz. box of raspberries [or in this case, strawberries](about a cup)
- 1/4 cup sugar
In a mixing bowl stir together the flour, sugar and salt. Then whisk in the milk, melted butter, eggs and vanilla. Pour is it all into a 10″ baking dish sprayed with cooking spray. Sprinkle the raspberries and sugar on top and pop it into a 400 even for 45 minutes until it’s puffy and nicely browned.

I have a similar recipe that my family loves! I think it is the melted butter that gives it that extra special taste :) I’ve got some blueberries so I think I’ll try using them – thanks for the great post!
:) I think blueberries will be fantastic! hmm..I have some blueberries too…maybe I’ll just make one too.
Her blog is lovely and I love your pancake. It’s a great way to showcase seasonal fruit. Looks wonderful.
Thank you Suzanne. I agree her blog is wonderful. I love the inspiration I receive from so many blogs and I truly do want to make most everything I see. This one stopped me dead in my tracks! :)
Me too, I live alone and can’t make it all, wish I could. I save everything though, and have a huge cache of recipes that I hope to try soon.
Fun to see your beautiful strawberry version– on my list to try next. love your blog. thanks.
Thank you Rhonda! I loved this so much. I was talking to a friend about it and she makes something similar called Dutch Baby. I love how this puffs up then falls into a custard-y, crispy edged pancake. This may turn into my “go to” weekend breakfast. It’s nice to have something like this when you have young ones around.
Looks absolutely delectable. I can almost smell it being made. :D
Thank you! The smell was especially nice early on a Sunday morning! :)
I’ve wanted to make this pancake for a while… I’m a big fan of Rhonda’s recipes :) Like you, I’ve also read a few different recipes for Dutch Baby and the idea of a crispy-edged, custard-centre pancake sounds absolutely divine. Thanks for the inspiration. Beautiful photo! xx
Thank you…. The inspiration is from Rhonda. She passed it down through me. :) I didn’t really know what to expect baking a pancake. And honestly I didn’t really think the ingredients through and what the results would be. I was so pleasantly surprised! I love this baked pancake. I plan on keep it in high rotation for weekend breakfast. Even without fruit with lemon / sugar! Awesome.
Oh man, these sure look good! I love pancakes- must give these a whirl soon :)
Looks to die for. I may just roll up my sleeves and make it for a special guest. I’m tempted. Now off to check Rhonda’s site that everyone seems to praise!
You should convince yourself to make this :). I literally stood up and made it after seeing it on Rhonda’ s blog. Delicious.
Gorgeous & simple, and respect for taking on the sweet recipes as well! Will have to follow your example.
hahaha. I know we share the same “groove” and not venturing into the sweets too much. I’m going to make some effort though.
I’m not much of a breakfast person but if anything would make me change my ways, it would be this pancake. It looks delicious and I love that it’s baked — so much easier for us folk that “wake up hard.” :)
Thanks for sharing this great recipe.
I get that. It’s always coffee first. Then some more coffee. Only then can I even think about breakfast. :)
Sounds like the perfect pancake to me. I can never be bothered to clear up the mess after pan-fried. Or is that just me being a klutz in the kitchen, as usual??
I feel the same way. Making a stack of pancakes is messy and you have to keep the stack warm while you are make more. Too much fuss. I can’t picture you a klutz in the kitchen. :)
I think I must make this right now! Thank you for the inspiration!
That was the same reaction I had when I saw it on Rhonda’s blog. And I acted on it. (I’m not usually so impulsive) It’s delicious! :)
These look amazing! All different fruits would work so well. I remember my son at 15…they sure can eat!
Yes. So true. My whole paycheck is spent on food! :)
Ooh, a pancake in the oven! That sounds yummy yet simple to put together. Win win!
You have pure maple syrup! Yay! That pancake does look incredible! And I realize that I too have all the ingredients. Including a huge bowl of strawberries. We’ll be having these for lunch today!
As I mentioned earlier, I just had this for lunch with my girls and it was fantastic! My 13 year-old daughter Charlotte said it was delicious and that I need to make this again. Just one question… is it supposed to be somewhat custardy inside? Mine was and I think that’s one of the things we loved about it, the custard-like texture. Just wondering…
Yes! That’s it. Custard-y for sure. That’s what I really enjoyed about it, and the crispy edges… So glad you all enjoyed it. It’s such an easy recipes and I normally have all the ingredients on hand. Did you put maple syrup on it? Oh, I mean….liquid gold? :)
Just love it. Strawberry pancakes, honestly, how can one ever go wrong? =) Thanks so much for sharing and can’t wait to make these with peaches! xo
Me too. I just bought some decent looking necartines..to do just that. :)
This looks divine! Came over from another blogger’s, glad I did. Everythign looks stunning! I thought I’ve had my fair share of pancakes from around the world- the English one (flat, more liek crepes), the American fluffy ones, the Dutch ones, and the Chinese ones (usually savoury). It’s weird, how so many cultures all have different versions of the same thing, and how creative each can be! I love this! going to try the Finnish version soon! x
Thank you for visiting! This particular pancake was very custard-y. I was very surprised at first, then I realized how much I liked it So easy to prepare (compared to standing over a griddle pouring and turning…) Definitely make it, you’ll be glad you did.
Sean’s, made this for all the kids last week! They all loved it! Love reading all the recipes. Thanks
Oh my gosh! It’s you! Thank you Brandy. So nice to hear from a family member… :) I’m so glad you made it. It’s is in high rotation here at our place. Beats standing over a griddle flipping pancakes. Make two of ’em for your lot! Just saw a gorgeous photograph of all four of them. Beautiful family. Thank you for commenting. Trying to coordinate a trip to California this summer and we’re coming to see you if we do!
That sounds lovely. I am a pancake freak and I am gonna try this out..
Great. I love them too. This baked pancake was pretty custard-y so hopefully you like that consistency as well. Thanks for stopping in!
I love all things Finnish! This looks amazing… especially on a lazy weekend morning. I’ve got to make use of all the seasonal berries soon—what a good reminder!
Hi there! Are you back? I must go check and see… Glad to see your comment. :)
Are you kidding me? it all just pops into the oven for 45 minutes and comes out ready to eat???? I love simplifying my life so that means I love simple and stress-free things. I shall try this as soon as possible! thanks for sharing!
Yes! Me too. Actually, when it comes to baking I can only turn out goods that are simple. You will like it very much Liz. I was pleasantly surprised and of all the credit really goes to Rhonda….http://thethankfulheart.wordpress.com/2013/06/23/finnish-raspberry-pancake/

I loved this! Thank you!!! I made this yesterday and it was a hit :) The best part was that I am not a very good cook, but this came out beautifully :)
