Ålandspannkaka (Finnish Baked Pancake)

Author: Ashley Adamant

Ingredients

  • 1 cup semolina flour
  • 4 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cardamom
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 3 tablespoons butter

Sviskonkräm (Prune sauce)

  • 10-15 prunes halved
  • water to cover
  • 1 tsp potato flour
  • sugar optional

Instructions

Ålandspannkaka Directions

  • Heat the semolina flour and milk together in a saucepan until it thickens.  Allow that mixture to cool for 5-10 minutes and prepare the remaining ingredients.
  • In a separate bowl, mix sugar, salt, cardamom, and eggs.  Add this mixture to the cooled semolina porridge.
  • Add the flour to the mixture and stir to incorporate.
  • Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish, top with pats of butter and bake at 375 degrees F for 45 to 60 minutes until golden brown on top.

Sviskonkräm Directions

  • While the pancake bakes, make a prune sauce by soaking the prunes in enough water to cover them for about 30 minutes.
  • Add them to a saucepan, and then add a small amount of water to cover.  Simmer them for 15-20 minutes until most the water is gone.
  • Add 1 tsp of potato flour to thicken the mixture, stirring to incorporate.  Simmer for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Allow cooling slightly before serving.  Sviskonkräm can be made up to a week in advance.
  • Serve Ålandspannkaka hot or cold, and top with stewed prunes, jam, fresh berries, yogurt or whipped cream.
