What it is
Finland's 'slapped ear': a cinnamon-cardamom bun twisted into its signature ear shape, with pearl sugar on top — no coffee break is complete without one. Ingredients: flour, milk, butter, yeast, sugar, cardamom, salt; filling: butter, sugar, cinnamon; egg wash, pearl sugar. Recipe: 1) Make a cardamom dough (pulla dough); proof. 2) Roll out; butter and cinnamon-sugar generously. 3) Roll up; cut on a slant and press each piece down through the middle with a thumb — the 'ear'. 4) Bake until golden. Serve: with coffee; Finland drinks more coffee per person than anywhere on Earth, and this is why. Flavor: buttery, cardamom-perfumed, cinnamon-sweet. History: korvapuusti's name and shape are folk whimsy (a cuffed ear for naughty children, the story goes); pulla culture anchors every Finnish celebration.
