Outside Thunder Bay, you won't find many places that serve the Hoito's style of Finnish pancakes, which bear no resemblance to fluffy American-style pancakes. At the restaurant, they are each the size of a dinner plate, heavy and dense.

Time 20m

Yield 6 8-inch pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large eggs
1 tablespoon/14 grams sugar
Pinch of salt
2 cups/240 grams whole milk
1 1/4 cups/200 grams all-purpose flour
Vegetable oil as needed for frying

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.
