KARJALANPIIRAKAT (KARELIAN PIES)
20 pieces
Rice filling à
-
2 dl Water
-
2 dl Porridgerice
-
8 dl Milk
-
½ ts
Salt
ts = teaspoon
First of all take all ingredients and put them on the table. Boil water in
a saucepan, and add rices into the boiling water. Cook until the water is
absorbed. Pour milk in small portions. Blend porridge that it won´t burn.
When all the milk has added and the porridge is boiling turn the heat down
Simmer it at low heat about 30 – 40 minutes and then add a little
bit salt. Cool it.
Doughà
-
1 dl water
-
½ ts salt
-
1 ¼ dl rye flour
-
1 ¼ dl white flour
-
15 g butter
Stir the flours and salt into water and knead into a solid dough. Form the
dough into a bar on a well-floured baking board, and cut the bar into 20
pieces. Form little balls from the pieces and then flatten them. Sprinkle some
rye flour onto the baking board, and with a rolling pin, roll a piece of the
dough into as thin a round crust as possible.
When all the crusts are ready, fill the center of each crust with a thin
layer of rice porridge. Fold the edges of the crusts and pinch tightly with
your fingers forming oval shaped pies.
Place the pies onto a baking tray covered with greaseproof paper (or if you
don´t have greaseproof paper you can butter the tray), and bake them at 275 –
300 degrees Celsius for 10 – 15 minutes, until they are golden brown.
Last thing to do is to brush them with melted butter.
Egg-Butter Spreadà
- 8 hard-boiled eggs
-
150 gr butter
-
½ ts salt
Boil the eggs in water for at least 8 minutes. Rinse
the boiled eggs under cold water and remove their shells. Use a fork to mash
the eggs finely together with the soft butter, in a mixing bowl. Add some salt.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place into the fridge to cool.

the beach, climbing a mountain, take a walk or play with your
friends, you can go have fun with your family and friends to the fair

I believe that Estepona is great and nothing will change my opinion.

FINLAND'S CLIMATE
Seasons and nature in Finland
- We have four different seasons in Finland. The temperature can change on a large scale.
- The Finnish nature is very pretty. Nearly 75% of our area is woods. We have more trees than you have :) Mostly of our trees are pines, spruces and birches.
- There are lots of lakes but they're quite shallow. The biggest lake is Saimaa.
- January and February are the coldest seasons and July is the hottest season of the year.
- We have more rainy than sunny days.
Spring
- It’s quite cold (0 - 10 degrees) in the spring. In Finland spring lasts from March to May. The days are getting longer and the weather is getting warmer.
Summer
- Even you wouldn't believe it, Finnish summers are quite warm. The temperature is more than 10 degrees above zero and we are really proud of that. In the middle of summer we often have nightless nights when the sun doesn't set at all.
Autumn
- The autumn is very colorful period of the year, because there are red and yellow leaves in the trees and on the ground. The days are getting shorter and the weather is getting colder. Finnish autumn starts in the beginning of September.
Winter
- The winter is very dark and cold. The temperature can be over - 20 degrees. There is a lot of snow and we're going to drown in it, so if you want to you can come and take all the snow from our backyards :)
In the matter of fact, we don't fight or ride with the polar bears or whales (but we guess that the polar bears could like this weather.)
