Kenuupiiristä

Kenuupiiristä is a traditional Finnish dish consisting of a large, thin pancake made from rye flour, water, and sometimes milk or buttermilk. The batter is poured onto a hot, non-stick surface, such as a griddle or frying pan, and cooked until golden brown on both sides. The pancake is typically served with a sweet or savory topping, such as lingonberry jam, lingonberry compote, or a mixture of sugar, cinnamon, and butter.

The origins of kenuupiiristä can be traced back to the 19th century, when it was a popular street food in Finnish cities. The dish gained further popularity during the Finnish War of Independence (1918) and the Winter War (1939-1940), when it was often served to soldiers and civilians alike. Today, kenuupiiristä is considered a national dish of Finland and is enjoyed by people of all ages.

To make kenuupiiristä, the batter is typically prepared by mixing rye flour with water or milk, and sometimes an egg or a pinch of salt.

Once cooked, the pancake is typically served with a sweet or savory topping, such as lingonberry jam, lingonberry compote, or a mixture of sugar, cinnamon, and butter.
