    Finnish Prune Tarts, One of my favorite Christmas treats, and very popular with the Finnish community with coffee I know, you’re thinking prunes ewww but they are very good (the bake time does not include the overnight dough chill time) , To make this heart healthy?, 55 years ago I made Suomalainen joululaji to help a Finnish student (who didn’t bake) I remember the pastry as having begun with whipped cream into which the flour was folded Does that sound familiar to anyone? Thanks so much for all of your recipes! I found the recipe in a library book
