Preparation Steps: Pannukakku
Preheat your oven to 200°C
Step 1: Mix the dry ingredients
Mix the sifted flour, sugar, baking powder, vanilla sugar and salt in a bowl.
Step 2: Add the rest of the ingredients
Melt the butter in the microwave or in a double boiler.
Make a well and crack the eggs into it. Add the melted butter, then the milk a little at a time. When you add the milk, keep beating the batter to prevent lumps from forming.
Step 3: Mix vigorously
Mix vigorously until you have a smooth batter. If you have any lumps, use an immersion blender to remove them.
Step 4: Making the pannukakku
For this step, you have several choices for baking your pannukakku:
- Use your oven's baking sheet:
- Line your oven tray with baking paper, then place your dough on it.
- Use an ovenproof dish:
- Butter your dish so that the pannukakku doesn't stick when unmolded. Then pour the dough into the dish.
Bake for 30 minutes at 200°C, or until golden brown on top.
Step 5: Tasting
Once cooked, remove the pannukakku from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before cutting it into portions.
Serve the pannukakku warm, sprinkled with powdered sugar, jam, honey or fresh fruit, according to your taste.
Enjoy your meal!
