This isn't poured onto a griddle like a normal pancake — it's baked in the oven in a deep pan, so the middle stays custardy while the edges puff up thick and golden.
A simple batter of milk, eggs, flour, and a little sugar is poured into a buttered pan and baked until it puffs and browns, then cut into squares and served with jam or syrup. It's classic Savonia comfort food, sold at markets and community fundraisers alike.
Why it's made this way: The oven-baked format let rural Savonia kitchens make a big batch of pancake at once for a hungry household, rather than working through batter one small pancake at a time.
