Korvapuusti (cinnamon bun) · Helsinki
The Finnish cinnamon roll, scented heavily with cardamom and shaped into a slapped-ear twist, finished with pearl sugar. Coffee's constant companion in a country that drinks more of it than anyone.
The korvapuusti, whose name means slapped ear for its pinched shape, is part of Finland's deep cardamom-baking tradition carried north through Sweden. It is inseparable from the coffee break, or kahvitauko, a near-ritual in the world's heaviest coffee-drinking nation. Helsinki cafes from the lakeside Cafe Regatta to Kallio's Way Bakery turn them out daily, always with a crust of pearl sugar.
