LaPoule Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 (edited) 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 Edited September 11, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..lay a little egg for me Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 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! Caroline BTW LaPoule...your signature made me curious...varfor kan du inte hittar din umbrella? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaPoule Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 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?)" ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ygerna Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Just a silly question. Would they be ground cloves? Or whole? Our school has international food days, so I could make this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaPoule Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
