Finnish Pancakes Recipe (just like the Hoito in Thunder Bay)

finnish pancake recipe hoito thunder bay

If you've ever been to Thunder Bay, then you've probably eaten at the Hoito... We went to university in Thunder Bay, and this place was a weekend breakfast favourite. The pancakes are Finnish; thin, crisp around the edges and not at all cake'y' like the puffy buttermilk pancakes my mom made.
The Hoito doesn't give up the recipe, so we've played around until landing on what we think is pretty close. In deference to their hybrid nature and the fact that we're in Canada, we enjoy these with Maple Syrup - but fruit and powdered sugar are great as well and probably more traditional to the Finnish recipe.
