I have a fabulous recipe for pepperkaker than my aunt uses. Every year I used to lose it, and then have to call my mum. And once she had dug it out and had given me the details, I found the original. EVERY YEAR!

 

 

...hunts around...

 

 

I've just found it (on the back of an envelope... )

 

250 gr syrup

150 gr sugar

1 tsp ground ginger

3 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp nellik (don't know what this is in English....anyone? CLOVES! Love google )

1 tsp ground cardamon

150 gr butter

1 egg

2 tsp bicarb

5-600 gr plain flour

 

Melt the syrup, sugar and spices in a saucepan

Add the bicarb

Whip until frothy

Put butter in a large bowl, and pour sugar mix over, and mix until melted

Add the egg

Add flour little by little

Dough should rest in fridge (it says a couple of days, but I'm sure a few hours would be enough!)

Roll out and cut shapes

Cook on 175C (fan) for 10 minutes

 

And if you make some, feel for me... it doesn't work with gluten free flour. Doesn't stop me trying every year though

I've seen other recipes that say to rest it overnight in the fridge...I guess it develops the flavour somehow. And its probably why I've never managed to make any as I'm more of a "I'm peckish what shall I cook?" kind of person than "I will fancy some pepparkakor tomorrow afternoon" kind of person!

BTW LaPoule...your signature made me curious...varfor kan du inte hittar din umbrella?

[LaPoule]

Det er et link (ledd?) - prøv å klikke på den! Det er morsomt (kanskje bare hvis du er Norsk?)

 

Not sure if foreign languages are acceptable on the forum, so for the benefit of everyone else, , I said :

 

"It's a link [in my signature] - try clicking it! It's funny (but maybe only if you are Norwegian?)"

[Ygerna]

Just a silly question. Would they be ground cloves? Or whole?

 

 

Our school has international food days, so I could make this

[LaPoule]

Hi Ygerna - they would be ground cloves. I used to make these with holes in, and then hang them round the house on red ribbons at Christmas time. However, don't do it too far in advance, because after awhile, they get soggy and start dropping off!

 

Also, very important point - these are Norwegian Pepperkaker
