Sætar skonsur

Sweet Skonsur


A "skonsa" is a "þykk hveitipönnukaka", i.e. a "thick flour pancake". The plural is then “skonsur”. We had these sweet skonsur with cinnamon and dried berries for breakfast last Sunday - and I thought they were really tasty!


Ingredients

320 g flour
60 g brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baker's ammonia
1/2 grated lemon peel
90 g margarine
180 ml whipping cream
100 g dried berries

1 Tbsp whipping cream
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon


Preparation

In a large bowl, mix the flour with the sugar, baking powder, baker's ammonia and lemon zest.


Add the margarine and whipping cream and mix everything thoroughly.


Finally, briefly knead in the dried berries.


Place the dough on a work surface sprinkled with flour or lined with baking paper and roll out into a circle.


Mix the tablespoon of whipping cream with the brown sugar and cinnamon and spread it over the dough.


Cut into x pieces with a sharp knife...


...place on a baking tray lined with baking paper...


...and bake in a preheated oven at 350 °F (180 °C) upper and lower heat for about 20 to 25 minutes,...


...until the skonsur have acquired a beautiful golden brown color.


I think the sweet skonsur taste best with fresh butter!
