| Karelian Pies (with rice filling) |
| (Karjalanpiirakat) |
Finnish Cuisine is one of my favorites...and no not just beacause I am Finnish. Haha but seiroulsy...Finnish food is the best ever (personal opinion....don't hate) One of my favorite meals is Karjalanpiirakat. They are like little pies with a type of filling in it. But anyways, I challenge you guys to make some Karjalanpiirkat tonight! Or this weekend or whenever you go to the store, and tell me what you think about it! I would love to hear your guy's reviews (:
| Pastry: 3/4 cup (2 dl) water 1 1/2 tsp salt 1 1/4 cups (3 dl) rye flour 3/4 cup (2 dl) whiteflour Filling: Rice pudding or 1/2 portion mashed potatoes 1 egg 3/4 cup (2 dl) boiling milk 3 Tbsp melted butter for brushing the pasties |
| Karjalanpiirakat Resepti Directions: Prepare the filling and mix in one egg. Mix together the water, salt and flour. Shape the dough into a long rope the thickness of your wrist and cut into 20 equal portions. Shape the pieces into flat round cakes and form into a pile at the side of the baking table. Roll out each cake into a very thin circle. Set aside, but not on top of each other or they will stick together. Fill the center of each with the rice pudding or mashed potatoes, fold over the edges and pinch tightly. Bake for a short time in a hot oven. |
