Finnish Pancakes – Flo's Hoito Remake

These Finnish pancakes were a favourite of mine from our visit to The Hoito Restaurant in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Here’s my version of them. ** SUPPORT THE …
Flo, you can make this with nut milk, as dude is sensitive to "cow". Coconut/almond milk is my favorite and I add a little orange and vanilla flavor. Speaking of bacon, try it with maple sausage links rolled up in the pancake… yum! blessings to all
There is actually the Hoito recipe on line. I don’t know how it compares to yours.
Don't put too much batter on frying pan and try to get that crispy lacing at the edges. It is the best part.
Thank you for this!!!!
Love these! My favorite pancakes. Thanks for the recipe 😃
Pancakes along those lines are my favorites. Thin and somewhat crepe-like and not filled with air like the fluffy syrup sponges one generally gets at 'pancake house' restaurants. The version I make is called Lawless Larry's pancakes, in homage to their creator. Liked everything about this presentation except the maple-flavored syrup. My taste buds cannot abide anything that is maple-flavored. However, I'm perfectly attuned to SPAM, just like Dude! ;^)
A Finn here, looking good and authentic. "Hoito" means "care" in English, in current Finnish slang it also means something little naughty.. " A one-night stand" 😉
Flo, your crepe pan looks a lot like my griddle pan made by Lodge here in Tennessee. I use it to bake my scratch biscuits
It's been years since I've made these. Last time was propably when I made breakfast for the people at our town hall. Didn't really feel like making anymore since that but maybe I'll whip up a huge stack next week 🙂
Finn here. I consider the best way to do these pancakes is a outdoor grill/open-fire cooking impliment called muurikka (sorry i don't know the english word for it).
I use high heat. It makes lettu more grisby and thinner. Cooking that way is fast operation and it is helpfull to use sportdrink bottle to quiqly and neatly dose right amount right after butter. Just time to lay down the butter knife.
There are two things I love dearly about your videos:
1. The message of 'simple, ordinary, joyful' – I have the tendency to get a little over-the-top in my thoughts, emotions, and everything-else – the way you seem to just…'be' is very inspiring, to me (as someone who is 'volatile', to say the least). You have inspired me to try harder to try less. I hope that makes sense?
2. The partnership you have. It's so, so clear to me that you two are just content to be with each other, and it really gives me a sense of warmth, too. My parents have been together for nearly 40 years, and they have similar sense of calm. The way you laugh so freely and opening and genuinely at 8:58, Flo, at what Dude has said, just makes me so giddy to see.
Thank you for what you do, who you are, and how you revel in your fortunes – tangible, and intangible.
Just subbed😊Been watching your videos for a week now and I just realized I’m NOT a subbie😳
I am now the owner of a brand new Lodge cast iron griddle, lol. Will be making these soon!
Well done. When I make "PLÄTTAR" i`m not that precise= a bit of this and a bit of tha a.s.o. usually good ………….
Mmmm 🇫🇮
I had seen them made by bunking the bottom outside of a cast iron frying pan and applying heat to the open side of the pan
That's a lettu. Finnish actual pancakes (pannukakku) is different. Lettu translates into Crêpe, so these are like finnish Crêpes. Finnish pancakes are oven baked.
We Finns usually eat with whipped cream and strawberry jam. 🙂
As a Finn living in Finland this concept of Finnish pancakes confuses me. In Finland we call those "lätty" or "lettu" and a pancake is a completely different thing. The pancake we make, pannukakku (Google it for an image reference) is made in an oven. I'd recommend you to try that also!
Add cinnamon and sugar! Then u roll them up, we call them ponacookers(not how it's spelled) and is a Icelandic version. In Ukrainian we put a sweet cheese filling fold them like a envelope and fry them in butter and eat them warm, for fill with ground meat for savoury dish!
You know that Bacon Spam is a thing, right? Dude could have it all right there…
I'm sure that The Dude gives you all sorts of kisses but the one at the end was really sweet! What a romantic guy!
Does that batter tighten up if it sits for a minute? Does the consistency change as you start cranking out the pancakes?
I wish I could hit the thumbs up button more than once.
It looks like melted ice cream to me would you say it's like that….
Don't tell me that I am the only one who thought chopsticks were going to be used. I love pancakes, flapjacks, griddle cakes, and any other name they go by. They are sooooo good and yours look like perfection!
I’m with the guys NO WHIP CREAM
Oh wow that was a confidant flip! Well done! I still cant make decent pancakes. I keep trying but…
I put just strawberry jam on it and roll the pancake
A Finn dropping by. You nailed the recipe! We usually eat them as a dessert or with afternoon coffee, not as a breakfast. Also, the traditional toppings would be strawberry or raspberry jam and whipped cream, sometimes vanilla ice cream! Cheers!
