Seulontatestejä

Seulontatestejä, also known as "Seulontatestejä" in Finnish, are traditional Finnish pastries that are typically served during the Christmas season. The name "Seulontatestejä" translates to "Christmas biscuits" in English. These pastries are made from a simple dough consisting of flour, butter, sugar, and eggs, which is then rolled out and cut into shapes. The most common shapes are stars, hearts, and crosses, which are believed to symbolize the Star of Bethlehem, the Virgin Mary, and the cross of Christ, respectively.

Seulontatestejä are usually decorated with a thin layer of sugar or icing, and sometimes with edible glitter or other decorations. They are often served with coffee or tea and are a popular treat during the Christmas season in Finland. The pastries are typically baked in a special oven called a "seulontakivi," which is a large, flat stone oven that is used to bake bread and other pastries during the Christmas season.

Seulontatestejä are a traditional Finnish food that is enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a symbol of the Christmas season and are often served as a gift to friends and family. The pastries are also a popular item for sale in Finnish bakeries and grocery stores during the Christmas season.
