We once stayed at one of Sarah’s and Aimée’s tutors’ apartment
and tried to do some traditional finnish backing.
They told us that one of the most traditional finnish pastries
are the cinnamon rolls, called "Korvapuusti" in finnish.

Milja gave some
instructions how to do them and I was given the task to cut the big roll into
small pieces. During this baking afternoon I had a lot of fun and it was also very interesting to get to know some finnish food. Moreover, I am now able to do
them on my own as they are very easy to make.
Some background about the cinnamon rolls:
The cinnamon rolls name "korvapuusti" can be translated
as "slapped ears" but I did not find any reason why they are called like this. In
the Sweden they have those rolls too. The main difference between the rolls in
Sweden and the ones in Finland is the difference in the shape. In Finland you
would dip in your finger in the middle of the roll when it is on the griddle. The
cinnamon rolls are flavoured with cardamom spice, the same spice as used in the
pulla dough which is another typical finnish pastry. Cinnamon rolls are a baked
good that I have seen in nearly every café and bakery around Turku. That
is why it seems obvious that you have to enjoy them with a cup of coffee or tea
or you can also go for a glas of milk instead. Those traditional finnish
cinnamon rolls tasted extremely delicious. If you will once come to Finland you
should definitely try them.
