Tippaleipä are served for Vapu , the Finnish celebration on the First of May. The Finnish drink, eat and dance, ;probably because they are happy that the long winter is over. Kind of reminds me of funnel cake. I have no idea how many 'nests' this makes.
Ingredients:
300 g flour
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
icing sugar
Directions:
1. Mix flour, milk, yeast, sugar, eggs and salt and beat for a few minutes.
2. Cover the bowl with a cloth and allow the batter to rise for one hour.
3. Heat oil for deep frying.
4. Use a piping bag and pipe the batter in the oil in the form of a bird's nest.
5. Fry the nests until golden brown and sprinkle them with icing sugar.
