Finnish Cinnamon Rolls (korvapuustit)




I messed around with this recipe a little. I replaced the fresh yeast (well that's what it's referring to, I believe) with 7g (about 1pkg) dried yeast.

Then I did the fun mistake of using ground coriander(seed) instead of ground caradamon luckily this turned out to be an okay subsitution (I found a jar of whole caradamon pods in my spice collection and compared smells afterwards - about the same sort of pine-y smell to me) and the cinnamon taste is above everything else anyway.

I used butter in the dough and margarine for the filling because I ran out of butter

They're soft, only lightly sticky on the bottoms and not very rich (or overly rich like cinnabon). Pretty good for random middle of the night cooking

Your rolls are just lovely. I just posted an answer to your question about the sugar and spice in Q&A. A little late.

Oh those look lovely! I'm just sipping on a cup of coffee and one of those would go sooo well with it...

Beautiful work Heather, maybe one day even I will venture to make the recipe I posted!!

By the way, I think I just spotted a cultural difference in cinnamon rolls; ours sit on a different side

oh wow! They're like little snails! I never knew! I'll have to make them the other way around next time
