Norwegian Pancakes

Sun, 14 Apr 2002 22:53:52 -0400

These sweet crepe-like pancakes get rolled up into mini jelly roll shapes and are a real hit with children. I serve these often to overnight guests - especially during holiday gatherings. You may use whatever jelly you prefer, we like raspberry or blackberry with seeds the best. The cook time is an approximation of how long I personally take to cook all of the batter - it only takes a few minutes for each crepe. -- posted by HeatherFeather

Norwegian Kringlas

Sat, 18 May 2002 10:56:35 -0400

My dad always makes this for the Holidays and we all love it! I have never made it myself for fear of doing something wrong- it may take a few tries to get it perfect (I wonder how long it took my dad...) Use whole milk for this one- It makes the rice nice and thick! Mmmm...I can't wait until the Holidays are here again! -- posted by Bec

Oatmeal-Lace Cookies (Havrekniplekaker)

Fri, 31 Oct 2003 20:00:19 -0500

I found this delicious recipe late one evening when my daughter informed she needed to bring a Norwegian food item for a heritage day pot-luck at her school the NEXT day! I had all the ingredients and the cooking time is so short so this is the one I made for her. I'm so glad I did, these turned out to be very delicious and quite different from 'normal' cookies. The recipe is from Authentic Norwegian Cooking by Astrid Karlsen Scott. -- posted by Hey Jude

Rutmus

Sat, 06 Dec 2003 20:00:40 -0500

I love this, though I will admit that for some it is an acquired taste. I like to top mine with lingon berry sauce, whole cranberry relish would do. It is pronounced 'Rootmoose' or 'rut-Muss' depending on where the speaker is from. I am from the states so I tend to say 'rootmoose'. -- posted by KookieMomster

Next Door Lady's Kringla (Norwegian)

Wed, 24 Dec 2003 20:00:09 -0500

The wonderful elderly lady next door while I was growing up would always bake these for her grandchildren and bake extra for me. The heavenly scent of it cooking would fill the house and make my mouth water. Getting these baked well takes a lot of practice, but it's well worth it! -- posted by Cerulean

Norwegian Figure-8 Cakes Kringla

Thu, 25 Dec 2003 19:59:47 -0500

Kringla may be anything from a yeast-raised bun to a cake that is shaped with a cookie press. This version is made with an anise-flavoured yeast dough and is a favourite at Christmastime. The dough requires no kneading and is easy to shape because it is refrigerated. -- posted by Olga Drozd

Momoo's Norwegian Thin Egg Pancakes

Thu, 11 Nov 2004 20:00:42 -0500

This is my original recipe. I learned how to make these from my son's grandmother and she learned from her Norwegian mother. Unfortunately, formal measurements were never part of the recipe until I came along. Using the blender for this recipe is also my idea. These are wonderful...and are an ideal way of getting a balky child to eat eggs. -- posted by Bohemian Chef

Lefse

Thu, 10 Feb 2005 19:57:39 -0500

This is my favorite lefse recipe. When I make this I think of who made these. She is not with us any more so this is real special to me. The way most Norwegians in Iowa/Minnisota eat this is with butter and sugar, also with butter and jelly. Hope you enjoy your Lefse. The time does not include making mashed potatoes. -- posted by Julie Leo

Mon, 28 Feb 2005 20:00:24 -0500

Fiddlesticks Julie's Rye Crispbread Recipe

I found this in a search for a crispbread recipe to duplicate Kavli Crispy Onion crispbread. As of today (3/11/05), I've not made it, but I'll be rectifying that very soon!

Norwegian Crowns

Mon, 28 Mar 2005 18:49:00 -0500

Adapted from The Cookie Book, edited by Ruth Berolzheimer, 1949. I haven't tried these, but they seem to be a good way to use up egg yolks, both hard boiled, and raw. BTW, you can freeze any raw egg white in freezer safe containers as is, just defrost in the fridge overnight to use in meringues or angelfood cake. I would not advise freezing cooked egg white. Feel free to halve the recipe if that is more convenient for you. 1 1/2 cups butter equals 12 oz. I am not sure of the preparation time, but have excluded the time for boiling the eggs. The cooking time is for one batch. -- posted by mianbao

Mørlefse (soft and Sweet)

Sun, 10 Apr 2005 13:37:00 -0400

I picked this recipe up from the Norske Folkemuseum in Oslo a couple of years ago. I'm not too certain how many it makes so it's a bit of a guess, as is the preparation time! :-) I haven't put a cooking time as I wouldn't consider frying to be "passive work time". They can be frozen. -- posted by hels

Andreas Viestad's Porcini Consomme

Tue, 19 Apr 2005 15:55:12 -0400

An Andreas Viestad recipe, one of my favorite chefs! This one is from his television cooking show, and has a deliciously different flavor. If you can't find fresh porcini mushrooms, the recipe does allow for a pound of white (button) mushrooms plus 2 ounces of dried porcinis. And don't skip the delicious garnish! -- posted by EdsGirlAngie

Eggnog Kringla Cookies

Thu, 21 Apr 2005 10:09:19 -0400

Cake-like cookies with hints of eggnog and nutmeg. I've been making these every year for Christmas since I was 12, and every year at least a few people ask for the recipe -- and continue to request them every Christmas. I've been told by lots of people that they don't want me to buy them a gift. They just want me to make these cookies for them. I love bringing these to cookie exchanges and/or giving them as gifts. I know the original recipe came out of a magazine, but I don't remember which one. -- posted by ShaGun

Horseradish Butter (Pepperrotsmor)

Tue, 06 Sep 2005 17:33:01 -0400

This flavoured butter is from Norway. Traditionally you serve it cold with hot grilled or fried fish. Alternatively, do what I do and mix a few spoons into mashed potato (Ive been known to add extra horseradish too) or mashed swede (rutagaba), MMmm! You need to allow for chilling time (for the butter and the cook!!!) before serving. Posted for Zaar World Tour 2005. -- posted by Mrs B

Norwegian Almond Pudding

Tue, 06 Sep 2005 17:46:50 -0400

This recipe comes from the website Food Down Under. It caught my eye because of the almonds and the rum (!) and also because it looks a similar idea to the traditional English dessert Syllabub, which was a popular dessert for special occasions and holidays in the seventeenth, eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Having said this, Norwegian Almond Pudding is a thicker consistency and less boozy than Syllabub! Serve with a warm fruit sauce. Recipe posted for Zaar World Tour 2005. -- posted by Mrs B

I have several recipes for waffles but I always come back to this one. I only use NATRON in my waffles but I have substituted NATRON with baking soda in this recipe.

Peasant Girls in the Mist - Scandinavian Apple and Cream Pudding

Fri, 15 Jun 2007 12:50:50 -0400

This very old-fashioned, traditional Scandinavian recipe, which is claimed by both Denmark and Norway! Wherever it came from originally, it does not alter the fact that this is a delicious apple, nut and cream layered dessert, which looks very pretty, served in individual glasses. If you can get hold of rye bread to make your breadcrumbs, it will be all the more authentic. -- posted by French Tart

Midsummer Swedish Strawberry Compote - Jordgubbskräm

Sat, 16 Jun 2007 10:09:20 -0400

Midsummer would not be Midsummer without strawberries, and this is a simple Swedish recipe to make, to celebrate Midsummer, wherever you may be! In Scandinavia, the summer solstice is a magical time. The lavender twilight lasts until 11 p.m. and the day breaks again at about 2 a.m.; above the Arctic Circle, the sun doesn't sink below the horizon for weeks. This year, 2007, Midsummer Eve, the beginning of the three day official holiday, falls on June 25. Throughout Scandinavia, families and friends gather to decorate the maypole with birch leaves and wildflowers, make flower crowns for women and girls, dance around the maypole, sing summer songs and feast on pickled herring, new potatoes, and aquavit. In addition, many families have their own special foods that they traditionally serve as the Midsummer meal. These are usually dishes that can be prepared ahead of time and easily served outdoors. -- posted by French Tart

Norwegian Cloudberry Cream With Lavender and Vanilla

Sat, 16 Jun 2007 10:23:25 -0400

This is a twist on the traditional way of serving cloudberries in Norway, I have added lavender and vanilla to enhance the ephemeral flavour of this delicate arctic berry. A member of the rose family, cloudberry bushes produce delicious yellow/orange berries that are highly prized in Scandinavia. Smaller than blackberries and raspberries, cloudberries are picked at the end of July and the beginning of August. The cloudberry is almost exclusively sold fresh or made into jam, but it's also used in liqueurs and as a filling in sweets and chocolates. They are difficult to substitute - but I imagine raspberries or lingonberries would be a lovely idea if you cannot get cloudberries. -- posted by French Tart

Potet Klub (Norwegian Potatoes) (Could Be Gluten-Free)

This is a traditional Norwegian recipe that would be made for Christmas and other holidays. my Great-Grandmother, Mina Taylor learned from her parents who brought it with them when they emigrated from Norway in the late 18 90's. They would spend hours making this dish with a lot of steps and some difficulty. My Grandma taught me this as an easier way and can be done in about an hour or so. If you don't have a stand mixer, you can stir the potatoes by hand, but it will take more work from you and will take a little bit longer to make. Enjoy! -- posted by LDSMom128

Lefse

Lefse is a traditional soft Norwegian flatbread made out of potatoes and cooked on a griddle. I like it with butter and cinnamon-sugar, or use it to roll up lutefisk and mashed potatoes in. My grandfather emigrated here from Norway when he was small, and I am enamored with all things Norwegian! -- posted by Viking Knitter

Minnesota Lefse

We love this with butter, cinnamon, and sugar. So good! After moving away from Minnesota, I can't just buy lefse at the grocery store, so when I get a craving I resort to making it this way. -- posted by F-16 momma
