Finnish Oven Pancakes

This month’s egg farmers’ favourite, Finnish Oven Pancakes, is a favourite of The Shillings family of Oshawa, Ontario. The recipe was introduced to the Schillings family by friends in Thunder Bay, Ontario years ago. Turn on the oven light while the pancakes are baking to watch large bubbles develop on the baking sheet. It’s quite a show!
