Finnishbeefliverbake Recipes

Steps:

• Warm the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Let cool until lukewarm.
• Dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Stir in the lukewarm milk, sugar, salt, cardamom, 4 eggs, and enough flour to make a batter (approximately 2 cups). Beat until the dough is smooth and elastic. Add about 3 cups of the flour and beat well; the dough should be smooth and glossy in appearance. Add the melted butter or margarine, and stir well. Beat again until the dough looks glossy. Stir in the remaining flour until the dough is stiff.
• Turn out of bowl onto a floured surface, cover with an inverted mixing bowl, and let rest for 15 minutes. Knead the dough until smooth and satiny. Place in a lightly greased mixing bowl, and turn the dough to grease the top. Cover with a clean dishtowel. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Punch down, and let rise again until almost doubled.
• Turn out again on to a floured surface, and divide into 3 parts. Divide each third into 3 again. Roll each piece into a 12 to 16 inch strip. Braid 3 strips into a loaf. You should get 3 large braided loaves. Lift the braids onto greased baking sheets. Let rise for 20 minutes.
• Brush each loaf with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 25 to 30 minutes. Check occasionally because the bottom burns easily.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 175°C.
• Boil the rice in the water and milk until the rice is done - not all the liquid is vaporised, you should end up with a watery mixture. Cool.
• Chop the onions finely and fry until soft.
• In the cooled down rice-milk mixture, mix in the liver, onions, egg, raisins and the spices. The mixture should still be quite runny.
• Pour the mixture into a buttered shallow oven dish, put some knobs of butter on top.
• Bake for 1-1,5 h until brown.
• This would traditionally be served with lingonberry jam, but any red tart jam like cranberry should be good.

Steps:

• Preheat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat, until a drop of water sizzles on the oil surface.
• While waiting for the pan to preheat, combine flour, salt, and pepper (and garlic powder, if you wish) in a large tupperware bowl.
• Shake till mixed thoroughly.
• Add the liver to the flour bowl, cover the bowl and shake til coated, shake off and lay them in the frying pan.
• Reserve the flour mixture for the gravy.
• Brown the liver in the oil on both sides, remove them from the pan and set aside.
• Turn down the heat to low and toss in the onions and saute til clear.
• Remove pan from heat.
• Whip together milk and remaining flour until smooth.
• Return the pan to the burner and turn on medium-low.
• Add the flour/milk mixture (white sauce) to the pan of onions, stir constantly, until the gravy bubbles.
• Let simmer for 2 minutes.
• (NOTE: I keep the milk beside the stove JUST IN CASE the gravy seems too thick) Turn to low, add the liver, cover and simmer for another 10-15 minute.
• ,or until you see no more blood from the steaks.

Steps:

• Place shortening in a large bowl. Add boiling water; stir until shortening is melted. In a small bowl, mix flour and salt. Add to shortening mixture; stir until a soft ball forms. Cover and refrigerate until cooled, about 1 hour., Preheat oven to 350°. Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll 1 dough portion into a 17x13-in. rectangle. Transfer to an ungreased 13x9-in. baking dish. Press onto bottom and up sides of dish. Trim pastry to 1/2 in. beyond rim of dish., In a large bowl, combine filling ingredients. Spoon into pastry. Roll out remaining dough into a 13x9-in. rectangle. Place over filling. Fold bottom pastry over top pastry; press with a fork to seal. In a small bowl, whisk egg and milk; brush over pastry. Cut slits in top. Bake 1-1/4 hours or until golden brown.
