Finnish Baked Pancake

from The Great Scandinavian Baking Book
(So not really going with the theme here, except it is an international food???)

* Makes 4 servings

1 1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 c. milk
6 eggs
1 T. sugar
1 t. salt
1/2 c. butter for the baking pans

In a bowl whisk together all the ingredients except for the butter - whisk until no lumps remain. Let stand 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 450. Put butter into 1 large (14-16 inch) slope-sided pan or into 4 9-inch pie pans and preheat in the oven until butter is melted. Brush entire pan with the butter. Pour in the pancake batter. Bake for 15-20 min. until edges are puffed high and golden.

e-notes: We made the batter up the night before. We used 3 pie pans and 2 loaf pans because that is what we had. In my pie pan I just sprayed it with Pam and it was totally great without all that extra buttery fat. These remind me of thick crepes and are oh-so-very-delicious. We topped ours with just fresh-squeezed lemon juice and powdered sugar.
