kiskotien
Kiskotien is a traditional Finnish sweet pastry, often described as a type of small, rich bun or cake. Its name, derived from "kisko," meaning a strip or sliver, likely refers to its typical elongated or somewhat flattened shape. Kiskotien are usually made from a yeast-leavened dough enriched with butter, eggs, and sugar, giving them a soft and slightly dense texture.
