Celebrating labor day/may day/vappu always starts on the eve here so been fully into it all day today already and made some vappu donuts to go with the sima (mead) we made last weekend. These are THE treats for labor day around these parts.
The donut dough is nothing like the donut dough in US of AmeriKKKa. This is basically the same yeasted dough that is used to make pulla (sweet bread), it has lots of cardamon in it. I make these with sourdough as the levener.
Along with the donut shaped ones I also made a few of these square ones that are literally called porkies because of the shape. Put some homemade apple jam in them.
Finished "porkie donuts".
Finished vappu donuts.
This here is the combo. Ate this while listening to old commie songs.
Happy May Day comrades!
A tasty treat.Love it
Wish I could share.
