Ingredients

Pancake Ingredients

400 milliliters milk (approx. 1.7 cups)
2 large eggs
120 grams flour (approx. 1 cup)
20 grams butter (approx. 1.5 tablespoons)
1/3 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/3 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Batter

In a large mixing bowl, combine the **milk**, **eggs**, melted **butter**, **baking powder**, **sugar**, and **salt**. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined.

Gradually add the **flour** in several stages, stirring well after each addition to prevent lumps from forming.

Step 2

Bake the Pancake

Preheat your oven to **180°C (350°F)**.

Line a baking tray with parchment paper. If you're unsure about the quality of the paper, lightly grease it with a bit of **butter**.

Pour the batter into the prepared tray and spread evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for about **30 minutes** or until the pancake is golden brown. Keep an eye on it, as baking times may vary depending on your oven.

Step 3

Make the Cream Filling

In a mixing bowl, beat the **cream cheese** at low speed for about **2 minutes** until it's smooth and cool.

Add in the **boiled condensed milk**, continuing to mix on low speed until well combined, about **2 minutes**.

Finally, add the **room temperature butter** and beat for another **2-3 minutes** until the mixture is creamy and fluffy.

Step 4

Assemble the Pancake

Once the pancake has cooled, spread the **cream filling** generously over the top. Feel free to add some **strawberries** for extra flavor.

Roll the pancake up tightly to form a roll.

For the best flavor and texture, it's ideal to refrigerate the rolled pancake for **1-2 hours** to stabilize, but you can serve it immediately if desired.

Step 5

Serve and Enjoy

Slice the rolled pancake and serve. Enjoy this delicious treat with friends and family, and celebrate the special moments together!

Servings

For a stunning presentation, serve your Finnish pancake rolled up and sliced into beautiful rounds. 🌟

You can pair it with fresh berries like strawberries or blueberries for a pop of color that not only looks gorgeous but also *adds a burst of fresh flavor*. For an added treat, drizzle some extra condensed milk on top or dust it lightly with powdered sugar for a sweet finishing touch. 🍓✨

Feeling a bit adventurous? 😋 Try adding a scoop of ice cream on the side or even a dollop of whipped cream for that extra indulgence. Your guests will love it and it might just become a new tradition at your gatherings!

Faq

  • What can I use if I don't have condensed milk?

    You can make a simple homemade version by simmering regular milk with sugar until it thickens, or use a mixture of cream cheese and sugar for a similar texture.

  • How do I know when the pancake is done?

    The pancake is done when the edges are golden and the center has puffed up slightly. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.

  • Can I make the cream filling ahead of time?

    Absolutely! The cream filling can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the fridge. Just give it a quick mix before using.

  • How can I make my pancakes fluffier?

    Ensure that your eggs are at room temperature and mix the batter gently to avoid overmixing which can make the pancake dense.

  • Is it possible to freeze the pancake?

    Yes! You can freeze the cooked pancake. Just wrap it well in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. Thaw before serving and reheat in the oven.

  • What other fillings can I use?

    You can get creative with fillings! Consider using ricotta cheese with fruits, crème fraîche with herbs, or even savory options like smoked salmon!
