What it is
Estonia's hand pies: small yeast or shortcrust pastries filled with meat, cabbage, carrot or mushroom — the pirukad that fill bakeries and bus-station kiosks alike. Ingredients: yeast dough (flour, milk, butter, yeast); fillings: minced meat with onion, braised cabbage, carrot with egg, mushroom; egg wash. Recipe: 1) Make a soft enriched dough; proof. 2) Cook the filling; cool. 3) Roll, cut rounds, fill and pinch into ovals. 4) Bake until golden. Serve: warm, by the handful — carrot pirukad (sweetish) are a school-canteen nostalgia. Flavor: buttery dough, savoury heart. History: pies came to Estonia through Baltic German and Russian currents; every café keeps its shape (the open-faced kuhinj-style cousins aside). See also: Verivorst, Kama.
