How to Make Finnish Salmon Pasties Lohipasteijat
- **Prepare the Pastry:** In a large bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
- **Cut in the Butter:** Add 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- **Combine Wet Ingredients:** In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and ¼ cup ice water.
- **Form the Dough:** Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
- **Chill the Dough:** Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- **Roll and Fold (First Turn):** On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 20x20 inch rectangle. Fold the dough into thirds like a letter, then wrap and chill for 15 minutes.
- **Roll and Fold (Second Turn):** Roll the dough again into a 20x20 inch rectangle. Fold into thirds in the opposite direction. Wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes (or up to 60 minutes).
- **Prepare the Filling:** In a medium bowl, gently combine ½ cup cooked rice, 1 cup cooked salmon (flaked), 1 large egg, ¼ cup heavy cream, 1 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped), salt, and white pepper to taste.
- **Preheat Oven:** Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- **Assemble the Pasties:** Roll out the chilled dough to ⅛ to ¼ inch thickness. Use a 3-4 inch round cookie cutter to cut out circles.
- **Fill and Seal:** Place about 1 teaspoon of salmon filling in the center of each circle. Moisten the edges with water, fold in half to form a half-moon shape, and press the edges firmly to seal.
- **Bake:** Arrange the pasties on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- **Serve:** Serve the Lohipasteijat warm. Enjoy!
- **Make Ahead & Freeze:** These pasties can be made ahead and frozen unbaked. To bake from frozen, place them on a baking sheet directly from the freezer and bake for 2-3 minutes longer.
