Suomalaiset Karjalanpiirakat (finnish Karelian Pies)
Suomalaiset karjalanpiirakat, or Finnish Karelian Pies, are traditional pastries from Finland. These rye crust pies are typically filled with rice porridge and are often served as a snack or for breakfast.
Ingredients
- 3 cups rye flour
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 cup oat milk

- In a separate bowl, combine the cooked rice, oat milk, and salt to make the filling.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each piece into a thin oval shape.
