It's Shrove
Tuesday tomorrow, so I made these traditional Finnish Shrove Tuesday
buns. I try to make them every year for this occasion, even though I
don't bake much otherwise.
Ground green
cardamom seeds give the buns their distinctive flavour and the buns
are filled with lovely whipped cream and strawberry jam. Ever since
my childhood I have loved these buns, they are just so tasty. This
year my buns fell a bit flat. I might have put too little yeast or
maybe the milk wasn't warm enough, so they became a bit more dense.
They were still good, but didn't maybe look quite as appetising.
I have posted my
standard recipe for the buns before, so please just have a look here, if you are interested in baking them.
Have a nice week!

looks like a fine shrove tuesday tradition - I have failed to find time for pancakes this year so sylvia bought a few from a shop - oh the shame!!!! Hope you enjoy your gorgeous buns!
ReplyDeleteWell shop pancakes aren't too bad. I have none this year, I only had time for the Finnish tradition.
