Åland baked semolina-porridge pancake scented with cardamom.
About Åland pancake
Åland pancake is the islands' baked pancake made from cooked porridge rather than a thin batter. This profile follows Visit Åland's official recipe and fixes its semolina-and-butter version from the documented semolina-or-rice and butter-or-margarine choices.
Milk and semolina give the pancake a mellow cereal richness, while egg and wheat flour help it set. Sugar adds gentle sweetness, cardamom provides a warm floral aroma and butter enriches the browned surface.
The pancake is baked in a shallow dish as a thick golden slab with a lightly browned top. Inside it is soft, close-textured and slightly grainy from the semolina porridge rather than airy like a griddle pancake.
