We Made Karjalanpiirakka 

Karelian Piirakka... 1 cup of water 1 tsp salt 2 tbs melted butter 1 cup white flour 2 cups rye flour

You guys make them like pros, very impressive.

I don't know why it's interesting to see some finnish guy from Canada baking karjalanpiirakoita. For some reason it's entertaining. Perunapiirakka is my favourite too!

You two could totally sell this piirakka-video to a Finnish tv channel, particularly In these corona times. Upeaa!

When I was a young boy I used to spend a lot of time in Karjala at the summer when there were no school. My grandma made a batch of around 200 riisipiirakkas every Saturday morning. Piirakkas were the first things to be cooked in the baking masonry oven because they need a lot of heat. Thanks for the video, I need to practice the art of making piirakkas myself. Unfortunately, my grandma is not here anymore but maybe her sister could give some tips to make them as I remember them to be.

Very good! I've made those "piirakkas" long time ago. I think, home made pies are more tasty than those, they sell in the markets. Thank You for the video again! It is so nice to hear You speaking finnish too! When I lived short time in Ohio, I missed my home in Finland. Then I travelled from USA to Canada. Oh, I was so happy, when I realized that I came to the country, that was somehow like Finland. I opened the carwindows and smelled the forests! (Koivujen ja mäntyjen tuoksu) Sometimes it is not easy to write or speak english! I have forgotten so many words. Because I am finlander, I cannot be sure, if I say things correctly in english. Languages are so interesting! I started to study russian few years ago. It is very difficult, but I wish that some day I could be as brave as You and make a video in russian! 😊 Bless You!

Love the Finnish music in the background, I'm borrowing my best friend's mom's Finnish cd when we make our piirakkas

You know how to made some. I can't remember last time when I made some piirakka, but I still know how to made it. Your's look great!!

Hi you. Wonderful Karjalan piirakoita. You and your son know this. Very great. Bye. Have a nice day.🌅🌏👋🍮

My sister and I are making piirakkas for Christmas, our mom's recipe!! It's an all day process but so worth it

Its great that you cook with your kid! For me at least as a kid it was great to spend time with my dad cooking. Old traditional finnish foods mostly. Now days the tables have turned tho and im the chef and dad is the sous-chef. Fun times never the less still!

Good job, you inspired me to make karjalanpiirakkas, I'm Finnish but I have never made them- as you know, you can just buy them from the store. :)

My czech wife was making karjalanpiirakka in Prague from finnish rye flour (of course) in three colors. Rice porrige only, with added carrot and as an experiment, with pumpkin. Not like grandmother used to make, but delicious all the same. Your wrapping technique is more advanced, but I'm sure she will improve her style...

Yummy karjalanpiirakka! I like rice pudding more than potato. Old Finnish music in backgroung. 👍 I give thump up a making Karjala piirakka. 🤩😎👌

Hyvältä näyttää! Viisi tähteä!

Aluksi ajattelin kirjoittaa englanniksi, mutta tiedän, että treenaat Suomen kieltä mielelläsi. Minusta on todella ihanaa, että opetat suomalaista kulttuuria pojallesi perinneruoista lähtien. Olen itse hyvin isänmaallinen ja valitettavasti suomalaiset eivät aina ymmärrä, miten arvokasta on vaalia perinteitä. Kiitos Roy näistä videoista.

You are so good at baking!

Fazer has a carrot version that is now my favorite. Yes, we are spoiled we can get them anytime so easily at the market.

They are so common in Finland, you can eat the Karelian pies like every day. 😁 Some make the egg butter in margarine. I warm up my store bought rice pies and spread some butter or margarine on them. Then I add sliced (boiled and cooled down first) eggs on top and some salt. That's the easiest way to get tasty rice pies. Also it acts as a balanced meal (carbs and protein), for example if you are busy and hungry.

Oh and the background music! Oi Karjalan kunnailla. .... ❤️

I turn the pie when I "rypytän" the pie. My father was from Karjala. He taught me to make pies.

I'm not finnish, but I love the karjalan piirakkas. They are very hard to find in Sweden, despite a quite big finnish minority. So I've tried making them at home too. Not too difficult. Yours looks so much prettier than mine though.

If it's freaking you out that they sell Karjalan piirakka in shops here, what would the fact that they also sell readymade munavoi also do? =D

Hi Roy, put the temperature as high as you can (250-300 celsius) in your owen when you bake our piirakkas and after you take them out of the owen just ”paint” them with melted butter both sides. After that put your piirakkas under a towel to calm down and then ENJOY! Greetings from Karjalan tyttö! 😃

My Mother and Father are both Karelian so Karjalanpiirakka is very BIG thing

Yummy! I roll the dough round, gets a nicer shape after "crimping", and bake in 300 °C.

I assume you could make a fruit filing. Like saskatoons.

Regular butter here in finland is also always salted, don't know if that's what makes the difference for the eggbutter.

Näyttää tosi hyviltä 👍

Hyvän näköisiä piirakoita. Ohrapuuro käy myös piirakan täytteeksi.

We do them a little bit differently, and we add eggs on them, well eggs, salt and butter, mix them together and mix them then put them on top of them. But for each their own :) my bf likes to use butter and meatpaste on them so 😁

Isäsi laulaa? Hänellä on tosi kaunis ääni. Koskettavaa laulua.

It is daunting to start baking them; you need to be fast and attend to details. Easy? Good. Mom used to say she gave up on them, she's from North Karelia, Joensuu. Grandma had a wood owen and would handle the very hot pies with bare hands and brush them with a milk and butter mix. She would tell me she's alright as a blacksmith's daughter. We would go bye a particular rye flour. I guess I gave up too, but my big sister made them pies to President Ahtisaari while working for the Finnish Embassy in Norway. Your son takes part in baking too so nicely. I wonder if he is part Finnish or all Canadian in a way. Probably like me asking am I from Joensuu when I'm from Helsinki. I think I pretend to be part Karelian. Roots.

BRAWOO !!!👍 Sinulta onnistuu, homma kuin homma !!! 🌹🇫🇮

Mustikkasoppaa on sana, jota etsit 😊( ja söit lapsena riisipuuron kanssa.)

You don't have a pie stick, shuttle-shaped rolling stock used in baking in (Karjalanpiirakka) Karelian pie. Piirakkapulikka in Finnish.

Moi, minun suosikin piirakkaa.😋😋

If I only knew how to make karjalanpiirakka 😆!

I just looked Maajussille morsian maailmalla and it was so strange. I was born in 1968 and I know there used to be milk in bags in Finland too, Grandmother made carpets from these bags. And to those finnish brides of Roy's from Finland , they had never heard about it.. like wtf!!

Have you tried riisi-porkkanapiirakka?

My fathers parents were from part of the karelia what is now part of Russia. My mother did learn from my grandma how to make awesome karelian pies and karelian stew. Karelian pies in eastern Finland are way better than in rest of the country. Specially those what are made in small scale bakery, so must buy if visit in there.

Moi Roy! Looks like you are going to be on tv here in Finland soon ;)

Respect for the song :) My ancestors had a big farm in Karelia and Russian/SU border was only under 2 km away. They had to evacuate twice before the wars and my grandpa barely survived the first trip when he was 2 years old (he's still alive). Great grandpa died on the last battles -44 summer in Ilomantsi and our homelands remained on the wrong side of the border. So yeah, we have a good reason not to like Russia/russians :) But great video and keep them coming 👍 💪

Very nice karjalanpiirakoita varmaan myös maistuivat

I'm not sure if the Canadian oven heat up over 500f, but I found a video like this. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9ZfyxkbajE4.html En ole varma lämpeääkö kanadan uunit yli 500f, mutta ehkä tästä on apua. Ja saat lisää vinkkejä. Uudet uunit ei meilläkään lämpene enään 300 Celsius asteeseen (thanks the EU 😠) (max275c) sen takia karjalan piirakat ei valmistu oikein enään.

Täydellisiä, munavoi vielä 😅✨👌

You need "pulikka" for 100% authentic karjalan piirakka making experience. Try "kalakukko" next :D

Yes, you can translate as Karelian pies. :) Delicious! If you just chop some egg on top it’s also delicious. You can spread some butter on the Karelian pies first, if you want.

Kyllä nuo minulle maistuisivat. Laittaisin päälle vähän maksamakkaraa. - Definitely would eat those. A little bit of liver sausage on top. :)

its like orginal!.....but..no en sanokkaan!

Nam!

watched 3 videos. 0 dislike in total. no wonder. youre a bit hörhö as we härmäläiset are, but lovely one

You seem like a person that likes to bake so make your own butter, maybe you can manage to get the same eggbutter that way.

are you baker?

You should have "pulikka" (carelian pie roll) for making karjalanpiirakka. It's better than kaulin (rolling pin) for that task. suomikauppa.fi/en/product/carelian-pie-roll/

Jesus man. Luv ur videos,but there has nowadays newer and better music.
