Method
- 1
Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm milk. Add the eggs, sugar, spices, and part of the flour. Mix the dough until smooth.
- 2
Gradually knead the remaining flour into the dough until it releases from the sides of the bowl. Finally, add the melted Oivariini.
- 3
Allow the dough to rise under a cloth in a draft-free place until doubled in size.
- 4
Roll out the dough into two sheets measuring 60 x 30 cm.
- 5
Spread the softened Oivariini onto the sheets. Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon on top.
- 6
Roll up the dough sheets starting from the long side. Leave the seam underneath. Cut the rolls diagonally with a sharp knife into triangular pieces. Set the pieces upright with the narrow side facing up.
- 7
Press the narrow part down to the table with your fingers. This causes the cut sides to flare upwards. Let rise under a cloth.
- 8
Brush the risen buns with egg. Sprinkle crushed almonds or pearl sugar on top.

Bake in the middle of the oven at 225 degrees for about 8 min.
