Pannukakku Finnish Oven Pancake

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon fine salt
• 4 cups whole milk
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
• Strawberry jam, for serving

Before you cook

• Put the butter in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and set the dish in the oven as it heats to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Whisk the eggs, sugar and salt together in a large bowl until pale.
• Whisk in the milk, then add the flour a little at a time so no lumps form.
• Stir in the vanilla and cardamom until the batter is thin and smooth.

Steps

1. Take the hot dish out of the oven once the butter has melted and turned nutty brown.
2. Tilt the dish to coat the bottom and sides with the browned butter.
3. Pour the excess butter from the dish into the batter and whisk it in.
4. Pour the batter into the hot dish and return it to the oven right away.
5. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the surface is blistered and browned and the center barely jiggles.
6. Let the pancake rest for five minutes as it sinks and firms.
7. Cut it into squares and serve with strawberry jam.
