« Runebergintortut / Runeberg cakes »
February 5th is Runebergin Päivä and every year little bullet cakes topped with
jam and rings of icing start appearing a few weeks after the Christmas
holidays are over to commemorate the the national poet [who wrote in
Swedish] J.L. Runeberg [Lovely
website. Requires Flash]. I had never tried the cakes because I'm not
particularly fond of cavity inducing sweets and Jarkko had warned me
off of them. On a whim I bought a package of them at the grocery one
evening and tried one for the hell of it and found it to be not too
horribly sweet and rather tasty in spite of the handicap of being mass
produced and subsequently a bit on the dry side.
So, I consulted my copy of Kotiruoka and was intrigued by the use of bread and
cookie crumbs in the recipe. I looked at other recipes for the cakes
and found them suspect by comparison due to many of them using
margarine instead of butter. Unless you have serious dietary
requirements which bar you from enjoying butter occasionally, any
recipe for a confection that calls for synthetic fats [exception for
pie crust and pastry dough] should be held suspect since they are not
the same as butter and, given I'm a chemist, I consider them to be far
worse for you than butter when used in moderation. Many of the recipes
also omitted the gingerbread cookie and bread crumbs or tried to tart
up the recipe with various other ingredients. The
Kotiruoka recipes are decidedly not fancy, very
traditional and trustworthy recipes. Considering just how far off the
English versions are from the original Finnish recipes, it's a pity
there isn't an English translation for the bible of Finnish cooking. I
made four different variations, including the original and had a few
willing victims taste them and pick the one they liked the best.
The Problem: Runeberg cakes are a traditional confection for
Runberg's Day on 5 February in Finland. They are generally regarded to
be either too dry or too sweet when rum or liqueurs are added to
moisten them.
The Goal: To make a traditional Runeberg cake that is not quite so
dry without resorting to adding liqueurs for moisture.
The Solution: Part of the dryness problem stems from the fact that
most people rely on bakeries to provide the cakes and, especially if
they are purchased in the grocery, they dry out fairly quickly in the
winter air if not sealed well. The combination of bread crumbs and
gingerbread cookie crumbs also soak up much of the available moisture.
I went back to the classic recipe in Kotiruoka and found
that it calls for jam topping before and after baking which most of
the other recipes and the bakeries don't do. The jam supplies a bit of
extra moisture during baking. I also added a bit of fruit juice to
complement the jam of choice and to add a bit more moisture without
making them soggy.
Makes: 12 regular or 8 large bullet-shaped cakes
Preparation time: approximately 1 hour
Special Equipment: Runeberg forms or straight-edged
muffin pan [ dimensions: 5.7cm/2.3in wide and 5.5cm/2in deep ]
Source: Kotiruoka, pg. 411
Ingredients
-
150g | 1.5 sticks butter
-
1.5 dl | 3/4 cup sugar
-
2 eggs
-
1 dl | 1/2 cup ground or finely chopped almonds
-
1.5 dl | 3/4 cup wheat flour
-
1.5 dl | 3/4 cup bread crumbs [korppujauhetta] (optional:
substitute 1/4 cup gingerbread cookie crumbs)
-
1 tl | 1 tsp. baking powder
-
.5 dl | 1/4 cup cream
-
2 Tsp. orange juice (optional)
Decoration
-
raspberry jam or marmalade
-
1 dl | 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
-
about 1/2 Tsp. water
Apple-walnut variation
Substitute full fruit apple jam [chunky] in place of the raspberry,
apple juice for the orange juice and use finely chopped walnuts
instead of almonds.
-
Mix dry ingredients [ flour, bread crumbs, gingerbread crumbs (if
used), baking powder ] together and set aside. Cream butter and sugar
together. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Add cream and dry
ingredients. Stir vigorously until smooth and thick. Fold in nuts.
-
Pour the batter into muffin cups or greased popover/straight-edged
baking pans. Fill the cups 2/3 full [about 1/3 cup]. Press floured
fingers into the batter to create a divot in the top and fill with
raspberry or apple jam.
-
Bake in an oven pre-heated to 395F/200C for about 15 minutes.
Remove the forms/remove from the pan and decorate the cakes when cool.
Add more raspberry jam to the top of the cake. Mix the confectioner's
sugar with water until it becomes a thick paste. Pour or pipe the
icing into rings around the jam.
-
If gingerbread crumbs are used in the batter, you can spice it up
with 1 tsp. of cinnamon and 1/2 tsp. of cloves.
The classic shape of the cakes are squat and bullet-like from the
straight-edged forms
[5.7cm/2.3in wide and 5.5cm/2in deep] but those less fussy about how
they look may use a muffin pan with paper cups, bake-proof ceramic
coffee cups/small souffle cups or even small tomato paste cans
[they're smooth] with the bottom removed. Finding these special forms
locally in the country where they are traditional at this time of year
is surprisingly difficult. I did eventually find them at Stockmann for
2.50 euro/ea. Apparently few bother with making their own or making
them with the forms. Outside of Finland/the Nordic region, the closest
ready-made pan is the Nordic Ware Crown Muffin Pan. The advantage the
forms have over the muffin/popover pan is that they lift off of the
cakes instead of having to tease them out of the muffin pan, 6 at a
time, without mangling them. If using the muffin pan, allow extra time
to cool since they are a bit more fragile when they are warm.
Creaming the butter and sugar together and then adding in the eggs
is, perhaps, the most important step in this recipe. I reluctantly
purchased one of those Braun hand held mixers last year and have
rarely used my standing mixer since. It's perfect for this job as the
purpose of creaming the butter and sugar together is to get a bit of
air into the mixture. The original recipe doesn't state how much of
the gingerbread cookie crumbs to use but I found a 1:3 ratio of cookie
to bread crumbs to be the best. After adding in the dry ingredients
you will have a thick, porridge-like batter that won't ooze out from
beneath the cake forms. Add the fruit juice last.
Grease the pan and forms well and pour about 1/3 cup of batter into
each form. Press the batter into the form with a moist spatula and
smooth the top and edges since the batter retains much of the shape
after baking and it will look ragged if not smoothed out before. Place
a small blob of jam on
top of the batter in each cup. The directions in the original
recipe call for using floured fingers to make a depression for the
jam, but I didn't find that this worked very well and used a wet spoon
with some success or just shoved the spoon with jam into the batter
without bothering to make a divot first. I found the latter to work
better since the jam didn't bubble up quite as much during baking.
Once they're done baking and have cooled, decorate and eat. The cakes
do travel well if packed properly and I will note that the square
clear plastic boxes that some of the butter cookies are sold in [in
Finland] will hold 9 cakes perfectly.
My attentive
assistant and discriminating taste-tester seemed to prefer the
cakes where I used the gingerbread cookie crumbs from the original
recipe version although claimed that the batch I made without
gingerbread but with added orange peel and orange juice tasted 'more
like the Fazer' version of the cakes. I subjected 8 test subjects at
work to a blind tasting with 4 samples; 3 of mine and one from a Fazer
control. Again, the gingerbread cookie crumb variety was popular as
was the apple variation. Interestingly, several picked the Fazer
control which may be due to baseline normal for this annual
traditional cake as they liked the variations very much as well. The
apple variety could also be good to make all year as it's not so
closely associated with Runeberg's day.

sinuses have been draining down the back of my throat for the better
part of two days, completely nullifying my sense of taste. I tried
half a spoonful of wasabi, but the hit only lasted for a few seconds.
Nothing's gonna wear down this mucus blanket but time. For dinner, I
plan on having some Halls (with mentho-lyptus). They have Advanced
Vapor Action, ya know? Yeah, I know it's nothing more than candy - but
the minty flavor is keeping me from going hoarse. I plan on popping a
Ricola or two for dessert. Maybe even a can of seltzer water to wash
it all down? I really don't wanna go to bed with Nyquil coating my
tongue for the third night in a row, though. That stuff always knocks
me out; it's a capful of green, liquid death. But I don't blame Vicks.
Oh, no... I blame it on the rain that was falling, falling. Some would
say that the chemicals they used on my hair pushed me over the edge.

A fun (yet testosterone filled) evening
A fun (yet testosterone filled) evening
07/08/2004 10:14 PMI like cooking for friends. Even if the friends drag me out to the
Finnish summer night to celebrate afterwards. But there was still
something that nearly (but only nearly) made me sad this evening.
I don't really go out much these days. It never was really my thing,
you know. But for the past week or so, I've felt rather happy and
willing to party, so I was easy prey for beautiful
ladies, who wanted to dance and party with me. So we danced, and
talked, and drank, and had fun. When the inevitable and dreaded
no-more drinks sign arrived, we stood next to the dance floor, feeling
generally good. Then a man, taller and more handsome than me,
approached us.
"You know", he says to me, "you are far too fat."
For a second, I am speechless. Then I just squeeze the two lovely
ladies next to me closer and say firmly: "Yeah, I know. But it
works for me." And grin heavily.
"You should really lose some weight", the man continues and
turns away.
I let the smile of victory to spread on my face. The short manly
fight for power has ended in me (us) winning - something that rarely
happens. It feels good, in some primitive sort of way. His words
cannot really hurt me: I know what I am and who I am, and that cannot
be taken away from me with mere words. Especially with the words of a
drunken nobody. From his simplistic (and probably very drunken) point
of view I had two women, and he had none. So the only thing he could
do was to try and hurt me somehow.
So bloody sad.

Of shoes and meat
Of shoes and meat
07/28/2004 06:17 AM
« Welcome to Missouri, land of meat and shoes! »
One of the most impressive things about Finns is their grasp of
geography, well, at least all the ones I know seem to know far more
detail about the planet we inhabit than any other people I've ever
met, which is a dramatic contrast to Americans who seem to have some
difficulty placing their own country on a political map of the world.
If you read Finnish, you'll get a good chuckle out of Peter Elk's
[Finnish expat living in NYC] look at an old geography book and it's descriptions of US states. If you don't read
Finnish, well, the summary is that some of the state descriptions are
pretty hilarious.
Missouri, for example, is the "Meat and Shoe State". I mean,
Missouri, land of the Ozarks and home of the 'throwed[sic]
roll', evokes the image of meat and shoes? Lambert's does have
really great rolls if you remember to duck and their iced tea is
served in giant mason jars with free refills, too. I kept trying to
imagine of a reason why anyone on the planet would think of shoes and
meat when describing Missouri. And then it dawned on me....Missouri!
The Sho[e]-Me[at] State! Someone in Finland heard Shoe-Meat instead of
Show-Me! Of course! :) The slogan has been in use for a long, long
time and has a somewhat interesting origin.
The most widely known legend attributes the phrase to Missouri's
U.S. Congressman Willard Duncan Vandiver, who served in the United
States House of Representatives from 1897 to 1903. While a member of
the U.S. House Committee on Naval Affairs, Vandiver attended an 1899
naval banquet in Philadelphia. In a speech there, he declared, "I come
from a state that raises corn and cotton and cockleburs and Democrats,
and frothy eloquence neither convinces nor satisfies me. I am from
Missouri. You have got to show me." Regardless of whether Vandiver
coined the phrase, it is certain that his speech helped to popularize
the saying.
Other versions of the "Show-Me" legend place the slogan's origin in
the mining town of Leadville, Colorado. There, the phrase was first
employed as a term of ridicule and reproach. A miner's strike had been
in progress for some time in the mid-1890s, and a number of miners
from the lead districts of southwest Missouri had been imported to
take the places of the strikers. The Joplin miners were unfamiliar
with Colorado mining methods and required frequent instructions. Pit
bosses began saying, "That man is from Missouri. You'll have to show
him."
However the slogan originated, it has since passed into a different
meaning entirely, and is now used to indicate the stalwart,
conservative, noncredulous character of Missourians.
Well, in all honesty, Missouri did have the Brown Shoe Company in St.
Louis and the enormous stockyards in Kansas City [in Missouri in spite
of the name] back before it became better known for Budweiser Beer and
John Ashcroft. I think the new state slogan should read, "Missouri!
We're real sorry about Ashcroft!" Or, maybe, "Missouri! Getting dumb
sports fans drunk since 1906!" Missouri does have a few redeeming
qualities like Mark Twain, Chuck Berry and Vincent Price. It's home,
but as Mark Twain so wisely quipped, "Familiarity breeds contempt..."
I will henceforth refer to it as the "Shoe-Meat State". :)
Because it's July [read everything is closed for summer holiday and
I'm bored] and I'm, of course, far more entertained by state
slogans than anyone probably should be, I'll offer a more honest
selection of state slogans for the easily amused. They're notoriously bad and ridiculed
all over the US [65k pdf] for being the product of horrible PR
wonks.
