Vanulapulla

Vanulapulla is a type of Finnish pastry. It is a sweet bread dough that is typically flavored with cardamom. The dough is then rolled out, spread with a filling, and rolled up. The filling often consists of butter, sugar, and sometimes cinnamon. After being rolled, the log is cut into pieces and placed in a muffin tin or baking dish. These pieces are then allowed to rise before being baked. The result is a soft, fluffy pastry with a sweet, slightly spiced flavor. Vanulapulla is a popular treat in Finland, often enjoyed with coffee or as a dessert. Its name translates roughly to "cotton ball bun" or "fluff bun," a reference to its light and airy texture. Variations exist, with some recipes incorporating raisins or other dried fruits into the filling. It is a traditional bake, commonly found in Finnish bakeries and homes, especially during holidays.
