Traditional Finnish Oven-Baked Kropsua Pancake

A golden, fluffy Finnish baked pancake made with rich whole milk and butter, served warm with maple syrup.

Ingredients

• 1 cup (stick) unsalted butter
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• Maple syrup

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Mix the flour, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl, then whisk in the milk and eggs using a hand mixer.
3. Place a stick of butter into a 9x13-inch glass baking pan and put it in the oven until completely melted, being careful not to burn it.
4. Carefully remove the hot pan and pour the batter directly into the melted butter.
5. Bake for 40 minutes until the pancake puffs up and browns nicely.
6. Sprinkle a small extra amount of nutmeg over the top, cut into squares, and serve immediately with maple syrup.
