Finnish Crepes

Finnish crepe pancakes. -Old fashion Finnish crepes.

A very typical dessert in Finland. Aura's Mom; Mumma,means grandmother makes up a real special home made batter she takes into the woods while hiking. After building a fire, she takes out her special frying pan with a loooong handle attached to the pan-head, and fries up the batter.

In our opinion, these crepes taste the best surrounded by Finnish fir and pine. Try them after hiking in knee-deep snow for an hour.

Finnish crepe pancakes contain wheat flour. Here is the recipe. It takes 5 minutes to make up the batter.
