Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Milk (preferably whole)
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted, plus extra for the skillet)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk and melted butter. Whisk until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. The batter should be smooth and slightly thin, similar to a crepe batter. Let it rest for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of butter.

Step 5

Pour about 1/3 cup of batter into the hot skillet, tilting the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.

Step 6

Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to dry and the bottom is golden. Flip the pancake carefully using a spatula, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fully cooked.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked pancake to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding a small amount of butter to the skillet as needed.

Step 8

Serve the Finnish pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, whipped cream, maple syrup, or lingonberry jam.
