Need an Estonian recipe recommendation

Post #399,278 by drook 2/19/15 5:12:19 PM Reply	Need an Estonian recipe recommendation One of the kids has a Girl Scouts event coming up where each troop represents a different country. Ours got Estonia. One of the things each troop does at the event is sell food from their country. Last year we did crepes, and made some pretty good money. Criteria, in order of importance: * Can be made ahead and brought to the event * Easy to serve single servings from a warmer or steam tray * Representative of Estonia * Kid friendly (meaning they'll want to buy it and try it) Any suggestions? -- Drew

You might try pirukad, about the same thing as Russian Pirozhki. I see I made my Russian menu so long ago I don't have a recipe up, but a good filling is buckwheat kasha (vegetarian, but reasonably tasty). See Wikipedia Pirozhki, and many recipes on-line. You could also look at Kringle (Wikipedia Kringle). A Finnish version would be most appropriate since Estonians are related to the Fins, just across the bay.
