Cheese up your soup

Finns have a great way to make their soup or casserole something special. They just put in some Koskenlaskia. This soft cheese can be bought at any supermarket in big bars.

Just slice it into small pieces and through it into the pot. Especially for soups that works perfectly and gives even the dullest pea or carrot soup some nice taste.

Homemade Pinaattilettu

Pinaattilettu (spinach pancake) is a Finnish specialty. And you can really easily make them by yourself.

Here is a simple recipe:

You need:

150 g spinach

2 eggs

5 dl milk

2,5 dl wheat flour

1 teaspoon salt

Some black pepper

Boil the spinach just for a few seconds and then cut it in very small pieces (or unfreeze deep-frozen spinach).

Beat the eggs and mix them with the remaining ingredients.

Leave the dough for around 30 min.

Bake the lettu in a normal or a blini pan.

The Pinaattilettu tastes really good with cottage cheese and lingonberry jam or hot butter and cheese.
