korjetti

Korjetti is a Finnish term referring to a type of thin, often sweet, bread or pancake. It is typically made with a batter of flour, milk, eggs, and sugar, though variations exist. The batter is poured thinly into a hot pan or griddle and cooked until golden brown on both sides. Korjetti can be served as a dessert or a snack, and is often accompanied by various toppings such as jam, fruit, or whipped cream. The preparation method is similar to that of crepes or French toast, but with its own distinct texture and flavor profile. It is a traditional food in some parts of Finland, enjoyed particularly during festive occasions or as a comforting treat. While the exact origins of korjetti are not widely documented, its presence in Finnish culinary tradition suggests a long history of simple, homemade baking. The term itself is a diminutive form, possibly indicating a smaller or thinner version of a larger bread or pancake.
