this week’s recipe: finnish pancakes

20 Notes

Let’s keep it simple this week, shall we? Here’s a secret: my husband and I are in the midst of buying our first house (huge grin!) and as if that hasn’t made life crazy enough, my car conked out and will cost me more than this month’s rent (huge tears).

So I could use some comfort food right about now, and these Finnish pancakes from Back to Her Roots are calling my name. Thin pancakes beat thick pancakes any day. It’s true.

Visit Back to Her Roots for the full recipe.

Congrats on your new house Ellie! Is it in Durham? My husband and I are eying an old house in old North Durham. We’re really excited too! And those pancakes look really yummy.

Congratulations on making the leap to buy a house! That is so exciting! I am always so jealous of home owners! Keep your chin up! The good will outweigh the bad and comfort food has no calories!

ellie,
awww, congrats on the decision on buying a house! i’m sure this must be such an exciting stage for you two!

so sorry to hear about the car. last month, we had 2 collisions happened on the same week on our car and it was a pretty stressful moment, so i know how you feel.

those finnish style pancake looks divine! i like thinner pancakes too :)

Buying a house, WOOHOO!! Hope all goes smoothly! I know how crazy that can be. Boo with the car tho. :( And unfortunately, unexpected expenses only get worse once you buy a house, but at least you’ll get to have lots of fun along the way! Good luck with everything!

Mmm this looks so delicious! I just made pancakes last weekend but we’ll have to give it another go around and this time try it the Finnish way!
