COOK WITH MEG: Finnish Pannukakku

Finnish Pannukakku (pronounced pahn-oo-kah-koo) is a traditional Finnish oven pancake that’s custardy, golden, and slightly crisp at the edges. Unlike fluffy North American pancakes, pannukakku is baked in a pan, not flipped on a griddle - think of it as a cross between a Dutch baby and a flan-like crepe.
