Happy Shrove Sunday

Happy Shrove Sunday. pushkin666 and I have made Finnish laskiaispulla (shrove buns). Traditional version calls for almond paste with the whipped cream but as I'm not fond of that, we went with strawberry jam which is an entirely acceptable variation. Om nom.

Ooo, very yummy-looking laskiaispulla! I kinda prefer the jam ones myself. :)

For the past ~6 weeks we've had Krapfen here (periaatteessa hillomunkki ja perinteinen täyte tässä osassa maata on ruusunmarjahillo). I'm still wondering if it's a thing that will go away after Shrove Tuesday so we've been eating them enough to tide us over the rest of the year if that is the case. :D

Was talking to mum who reminded me of this deliciousness so then I had to make some!

Haha, that is clearly a very wise strategy. Just in case they disappear!

They look good enough to eat! My mouth is watering ...

[kat_lair]

They are delicious! Our dessert is sorted for this week..

Om nom. I prefer jam over almond paste as well!

[kat_lair]

Almonds in whipped cream I can deal with but marzipan is blah!

They look delicious. We'll be making crêpes with stewed apple and crème fraîche tomorrow.

They are pretty delicious to taste too. And om nom, I love pancakes/crepes too!

Those look really tasty!

I like my laskiaispullat best with both almond paste AND jam. :D *bifilling-ual*

[kat_lair]

They were most yummy!

Ahahaha, your bifilling pun made me snicker and still does :D

[teithiwr]

I'm still proud of that pun. :D The best ones just pop up in the moment! I'll have to remember it for next year so I can make everyone around me groan.
