Joulutorttu, also known as the Finnish Christmas tart, is a traditional Finnish pastry typically enjoyed during the Christmas season. The name "Joulutorttu" translates to "Christmas tart" in Finnish.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
The main ingredients of Joulutorttu are puff pastry and prune jam. The pastry is often dusted with powdered sugar before serving.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
Joulutorttu is made by rolling out the puff pastry and cutting it into squares. Each square is then cut from the corners towards the center, and a dollop of prune jam is placed in the middle. The corners are folded towards the center to create a pinwheel shape. The pastries are then baked until golden brown.
Variations[edit | edit source]
While prune jam is the traditional filling, some variations of Joulutorttu use other types of fruit preserves or marmalade.
Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]
Joulutorttu is a staple in Finnish households during the Christmas season. It is often served alongside other traditional Finnish Christmas foods and is enjoyed by both children and adults.
