Bake in a preheated oven at 350 °F (180 °C) upper and lower heat for about 3/4 hour.

 
The Brunkal is traditionally served at Christmas as a side dish with meat, but it also tastes very good with vegetarian nut balls or as a main dish with potatoes. Brunkal is very filling.

Just the smell, reminiscent of the fragrance of incense sticks, is pure Christmas!!!
