Waffles Day 25. Mars

Scandinivan waffles are thin and made in heartshape. The batter is similar to other varieties. There are American, Belgian, Hong Kong and the LIege waffles. The most common style are sweet, with whipped cream and strawberry/raspberry jam, sugar, on top. Here in  Norway we have slices with brown cheese (this cheese are sweet, yummy) just as a topping. Sausage in the waffle is traditional food from Moss in Østfold and some places in Sweden. The court consists of grilled sausage or wiener sausage that is rolled into waffle. The Swedish tradition dates at least to the 1400s, and there is even a particular day for the purpose, Vårfrudagen ("Our Lady's Day, which sounds like Våffeldagen (waffle day), and is therefore used for the purpose. This is March 25 to celabrate waffel.

Gode boller (homemade bun)

 

Denne oppskriften har jeg brukt over 20 år, så jeg husker ikke hvor jeg opprinnelig fant den. og bollene blir så gode ;-)

• 150 g margarin
• 5 dl melk
• 50 g  tørrgjær
• 1/2 ts salt (denne kutter jeg ut siden det er oftes nok salt i smør)
• 1-1,5 dl sukker
• 2 ts kardemomme hvis ønskelig
• ca 1,3 liter hvetemel ( bytt noe gjerne noe av melet til fullkornsmel)

Pensling : oppvispet egg

Smelt smøret i en kjele. Ha melken oppi og varm alt til ca 37 C. Ha mel (spar 1 til 2 dl til utbaking) , salt, sukker, gjær, event. kardemomme oppi en bolle og tilsett litt av væsken sammen etterhvert som du rører det til en ferdig deig. Elt deigen (ikke elt for lenge for fete og søte deiger blir tørre hvis man elter den for mye) og la det stå til heve til ca dobbel størreslse. Normalt tar det mellom 30 til 45 min. Del opp i mellom 30 til 40 stk og legg på en stekeplate. Etterhev i ca 30 min.

Pensle med oppvispet egg. Stek bollene rundt 250 grader eller varmluft rundt 180 grader.

Denne oppskriften kan man variere med kardemomme, kanelsnurrer, sjokoladebiter, skolebrød eller pyntes med melis.

Tips :

Skulle gjæren ikke virke eller man glemmer å ha i.  Ta en pose gjær, litt vann (ca 37 grader) rør sammen til en masse. elt dette inn i deigen, ha eventuelt mer mel oppi. Sett det et varmt sted (gulv med varmekabler er et flott sted)

 

Homemade Bun

Prepare the dough and let it stand to increase into about dubbel size.  Takes between 30 to 45 min. Make about 30 buns. wait about 30 min.

“Paint” with wiped egg. Bake the buns  in an oven around 12 –15 min. (250 degrees or convection oven around 180 degrees)
