I am studying Finnish and would like to try some of the foods talked about in the lessons. Internet searches are mostly returning results about the foods and not actual recipes.

The recipes i would like to find are lörtsy (sweet, and savory, however i am a vegetarian so i am not after meat fillings), pulla, ruisleipä, karjalanpiirakka, and i recently heard about blueberry pies with rye crust on TikTok (no idea what they are called).

Recipes can be in Finnish, i welcome translating them. I did that with my leipäjuustoa recipe.

Edit: i found a lörtsy with caramelized onion and gruyere filling recipe

For the sweet lörtsy you can use any Lihapiirakka recipe, but shape it flatter, replace the filling with apple jam and cover the whole thing in sugar at the end. The finished result should be floppy, the name kind of indicates that too.

The savory version uses meat, but I found this with a quick google-fu. You can probably use the same dough for the sweet Lörtsy.

As for the blueberry pie (eat with vanilla ice cream/vanilla sauce of some kind): https://pakkopulla.vuodatus.net/lue/2007/04/ruis-mustikkapiiras

A couple of things to note: Nordic "blueberries" are actually bilberries, which are more tart and more ibtense flavoured compared to the blueberries grown in the US, but those should still be good enough :) (https://youtu.be/8zcQyWeZtX4)

Butter here is basically always salted, so use a bit of salt in the recipe if you use unsalted butter.

Here's a couple of pretty common resources for traditional recipes, search is your friend.
