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.
