FINNISH PANCAKES

Steps:

• Pour milk into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave until slightly warm, 20 to 30 seconds. Whisk in butter. Whisk in eggs. Add flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt; blend briefly with an immersion blender to make a smooth batter.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle and cook until bottom is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

GLUTEN FREE FINNISH (HOITO) PANCAKE

Steps:

• Get 2 mixing bowls: 1 large bowl for mixing all the ingredients and 1 medium bowl for mixing the flour and starch. Do not add the Xantham Gum.
• Add rice flour, quinoa four, potato starch and cornstarch / tapioca starch into the medium bowl. Use a combination of Tapioca and Corn Starch. Mix with a fork.
• Add the sugar, salt, eggs, vanilla and milk into large bowl. Mix or blend thoroughly until all ingredients are dissolved then add melted butter and mix again.
• Slowly add the flour and starch from the medium bowl to the large bowl while constantly mixing or blending.
• Finally add the Xantham gum. I find 1/2 teaspoon is perfect however some may prefer less or more. You can add it in smaller increments however keep in mind that I have found that Xantham gum does take a few minutes to activate. Therefore if you add it in smaller increments make sure you blend in between the increments for at least 2-3 minutes to see the full effect.
• Let the mixture sit for at least 30 minutes to flatten out the batter or in the Fridge overnight.
• Pre-heat a 12" pan to half the temperature of what you would cook regular pancakes (medium-low), this should take about 5 minutes. From my experience the rice flour and starches need a longer and slower cooking process otherwise the pancake will be crispy on the outside and mushy on the inside. To get a golden crispy look and texture, pre-grease the pan with butter before cooking each pancake.
• Place no more then 1/2 cup of the pancake batter into the centre of the pan and rotate/tilt the batter to the edges of the pan. You want the pancakes to been slightly thicker then a crepe. Every pan is different so experiment to get the right dose per pancake.
• Cook for at least 2 minutes on the first side and 1 minute on the second side.

FINNISH PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, sugar and salt. Add the milk and flour and whisk until just blended and no pockets of flour are left; do not overmix.
• Heat about 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet set over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, add 3/4 cup of batter to the pan. Tilt the pan to allow the batter to spread evenly to about 8 inches in diameter. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until the sides of the pancake are set and bubbles begin to appear in the middle. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes or until fully set and golden on both sides. Repeat with the remaining batter.
