Horn with a guilty pleasure

A guilty pleasure on a weekend is never wrong. These horns looks simple but as soon as you take a bite, you will enjoy a nice chocolate treat. I made these the first time when I was three together with my aunt, so if you have kids, this is the perfect recipe to get them involved.

Lunch Buns

This recipe requires patient and planning. The baking itself doesn't take much time, but to get the buns fluffy and not too dense, the yeast need to be allowed to do it's job.

The yeast need more time to get through the gluten in seeds and brown flour, so start prepping the day before.



This recipe gives you 15 large lunch buns.

Egg cream Easter Cake

An Easter cake perfect for your household. Since this years Easter is mostly in lockdown, and you cannot have people over, enjoy these small cakes alone or with the people in your household.

Full of flavour and good stuff, you would want to make these outside of Easter as well. 

Potato Cake

Hot dogs is standard Easter food for Norwegians. Preferably over open flame on the ski mountains. Potato cake is often being used instead of the hot dog breads, and most people buy these ready at the store. However, in the old days (my mum childhood days) they made these themselves from left over potatoes and flour. 

Chocolate Cake  with Coffee creme

Chocolate cake with coffee creme, what's not too like? This recipe fits nicely in a 2 pound bread baking tray. Sprinkle with whatever you like, but do try the coconut flakes in this, it's surprisingly good.

Did you know that if you wisp the eggs too much, the cake gets dense, so no need for any fancy kitchen machine.

Mixing the cake together is done in minutes. 30 mins in the oven and go for a walk while it's resting, before adding the frosting.

Braided Loaf

This is my mums most famous recipe. She always make 10-12 of these loafs the day before Christmas Eve and we start Christmas that evening with smoked salmon, eggs, ham, cheese and of course this loaf.

My Best Friend will also come by to get a fresh loaf for her family breakfast the next day.

I love this loaf together with a nice veggie soup

Burger

Burgers is without a doubt my favourite supper. It's the ultimate take away and every city have endless of offers.

I grew up on a small island in Norway, and take away wasn't a word we knew, thus we made our burgers at home.  

Crisp Bread

Scandinavians eat a lot of crisp bread, for breakfast, lunch (just the Norwegians) and sometimes as supper. If you walk into any scandi supermarket, you will find a mountain of options and different flavours. Outside of Scandinavia people has been referring Crisp Bread to prison food, which I can understand, since there is often many options outside of Scandinavia and I have to agree that those options are pretty bland. So, why not make it yourself?

This recipe require minimal baking skills.  

Tomato Soup

All Norwegians have eaten tomato soup during their childhood. That being with the family during midweek or as kids in the nursery. There is different variations out there including adding Macaroni, chopped sausages, cheese and eggs. I however do prefer it simple with just an egg.
