It was difficult to rate this because I wasn't sure what to expect. A Pannu Kakku recipe that I saw on another site said it was an "oven pancake " so I was expecting something similar to a pancake. (Which this was not). It was more like a slight sweet puffy egg custard. My husband liked this and I didn't care for it very much (though that may be more my personal taste than the recipe). I had to bake it a little longer than stated. I am glad I tried it if only for the experience of baking (and tasting) some Finnish food. Read More

First off guess it depends where in Finland your family(s) come from--we spell it Pannu Kakkua. Like others we put butter into pan and it melts while oven is warming. Prefer to top with lingonberry sauce. Maple syrup works well too as does cinnamon sugar. Read More

I grew up eating this too and our family recipe is very similar. I like mine cold and I add strawberries and whip cream (not authentic but delicious!) Read More
