Lämmittelette

Lämmittelette is a type of food that is popular in some Nordic countries, particularly Finland. It is a savory pastry, often made with a dough similar to bread or puff pastry. The filling can vary widely but typically includes ingredients like minced meat, vegetables, or cheese. These pastries are commonly enjoyed as a snack or a light meal.

The preparation of lämmittelette usually involves forming the dough into a desired shape, such as a small pie or a folded pocket, and then filling it before baking. The name itself, "lämmittelette," can be loosely translated to mean "little warm thing" or "little warming," suggesting its intended purpose as a comforting and warm food item. They are frequently found in bakeries and cafes, and many households also prepare them as a homemade treat. The specific regional variations and recipes for lämmittelette can differ, leading to a diverse range of flavors and textures.
