3 x oven pancake

***

A while ago I promised spikedluv a recipe for a Finnish oven pancake and then failed to deliver. So now, three different recipes, all from my mum's recipe book so no idea of origin... As they are Finnish recipes, most  measurements are in volume which apparently is weird *shrugs* All make a large oven tray so halve the recipe for smaller dishes. 

 

Standard oven pancake

400ml flour

1/2tsp salt

800ml milk

3 eggs

1tbsp melted butter

Åland oven pancake

350ml flour

500ml leftover rice porridge/pudding

1tsp salt

1tbsp vanilla sugar (which I realise is a Finnish thing so substitute with a few drops of vanilla extract)

700ml milk

4 eggs

100ml melted butter

 

Special treat oven pancake

400ml flour

150ml sugar

1tsp baking powder

1tsp salt

1tsp vanilla sugar (which I realise is a Finnish thing so substitute with a few drops of vanilla extract)

800ml milk

2 eggs

100g melted butter

 

Method for all:  

First mix dry ingredients together, then add the rest. Pour onto large oven tray lined with baking paper. Bake in 200-225C approx. 30min (40min for the Åland version)

Thursday's child has far to go

 

Create: Produce something that relocates the characters from their usual hunting grounds to another real life, actual place. Farther the better, so think another country, ideally another continent. For your sci-fi, bring your characters to Earth-now. Alternatively, the relocation could be measured in time. Consider your historical or future AUs, your ancient civilisations, or your alien ones.

 

Squee: Tell us about a place or indeed time period you’d love to see some canon/fanon based in. This could be for an existing fandom or an idea for an entirely new show, movie, book... Alternatively, you can gush about your favourite place on Earth now, or geek out over the fascinating minutia of a particular historical period/place.

Create: Well, my Craig/Bruno drabble for today's prompt is not quite what was requested but it's on the broad theme of relocation...

 

In thinking about the Squee prompt, I would love to read more stories set in the Harry Potter universe but not in Britain. I'm fascinated about the potential of what the magical world and life would look like in other countries. Fantastic Beasts gave us... Well, New York, which is like not even all of the potential of USA. New Orleans? Alaska? Hawaii? Texas?!?!? (o_O) The book have some terribly stereotypical representations of some European locales (Beauxbatons and Durmstrang...) but I'd love to know what the Wizarding world would be like in the Nordic countries (honestly, just the potential of Finnish mythology and folk beliefs re sauna and forests alone...!), in Greece, or Austria or... To say nothing of the rest of the world! India! Japan! Brazil and the whole of Amazon basin... In fact, how do Indigenous Peoples fit into this world, surely they are the 'purest blood' when it comes to magic? What about Africa and Oceania? Egypt vs Tanzania vs South Africa (how did apartheid impact the wizarding world?). Australia and New Zealand, Aboriginals and Maori vs the colonising European wizards and witches? Give me all this fascinating parallel history and present, the cultural variations across the globe re magic practice, attitudes to non human sentient creatures etc. *grabby hands*
