It's Shrove
Sunday, so it's the perfect timing to make these traditional Finnish
Shrove buns that are mainly eaten on Shrove Tuesday and on the days
before it. I love these strawberry and cream buns and my partner is
also quite happy to get them. He might want them more often than once
a year...
My standard recipe
for these buns can be found here. I followed it otherwise, but
used double cream for the filling and added some sugar nibs on the
top of the buns before baking. It's quite traditional to add coarse
sugar on Finnish buns.
Have a wonderful
week!

Wow, they look almost scone like, but rounder. I want to dive into one, but I am trying to be good and ease of cakes - not easy though when you tempt me with such deliciousness.
ReplyDeleteThese are kind of similar to scones, quite a dense texture, but I guess the cardamom flavouring in the bun sets them a bit apart. At least I'm not aware that it's used in scones here, it's kind of a Nordic thing... I think you should try these one time, if you are curious. They are really nice, but I only make them once a year. :)
DeleteI also try to eat a little lighter, so Shrove Tuesday was an exception for cakes.
