Tippaleipä is a traditional Finnish pastry often enjoyed during celebrations, particularly during Vappu, the Finnish May Day festival. It is made from a simple batter of flour, eggs, and milk, which is piped into hot oil to create a light, airy texture. The pastry is typically shaped like a spiral or a nest and is deep-fried until golden brown. Once cooked, tippaleipä is usually dusted with powdered sugar and can be served with a drizzle of syrup or jam. Its delicate, crispy exterior and soft interior make it a popular treat, symbolizing the arrival of spring and festive gatherings in Finland.
