Recipe Introduction
These are small twisted donuts.
List of Ingredients
4 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter (melt, add to above)
4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon cardaman (finely crushed)
1 teaspoon baking powder
Recipe
The dough is chilled in Fridge a couple of hours. Pinch off a piece, and roll it between your hands in a round pencil like piece, about the length of 6 inches. Close together making a circle, but leaving an inch or less on each end to hang out, thus making horns.
Fry in deep fat like doughnuts, not very long, 2 minutes maybe.
This recipe is from Ruth Halsan, who got it from Sofia Hansen, who brought it from Tjotta, Norway. She always made them for Christmas. Usually a month or so before the holiday, and stored in tight container. They will keep for months and seem to improve with age. They are so good with coffee. Add extra cardamon, I do. It's easier with two people. One roll and one fry. Put the rolled ones on trays of waxed paper for easier handling and frying. As you fry them, put them in a container to drain and chill.
