I have always used my mothers recipe for Γ¦bleskiver, but I tried to compare the original (regular milk/yeast) recipe to a buttermilk/baking soda/baking powder recipe and I must admit it's much better, very moist and fluffy.

πŸ‘οΈ 1599

AgurkSalat was one of the first Danish things I made when I moved to America in ’98. Not only do I not like dill which american pickles are spiced with, they're also pretty easy to make. So then a few weeks ago, I had downloaded some Danish cooking show, and I can’t remember who was the chef or the details of the show, but she showed what turned out to be the easiest recipe that can never fail. That’s what I’m sharing below.

This recipe is the closest I've ever come to making those old fashion soft 'farmor's boller (grandmothers rolls)… It's a pretty easy to follow recipe and I've made it hundreds of times so it's a true and tested recipe.

Brunsviger
Brunsviger 8/27/2017
πŸ‘©β€πŸ³
πŸ‘οΈ 1604

When I was a kid, I don’t recall my mom making Brunsviger, but my friend’s mom would always make it for birthdays and school events.
I’ve never really made it, but I always wanted to, and so I gave it a try, and it came out pretty good I thought even though I didn’t have a specific type of sugar called β€œFarinβ€œ. In short Farin is a byproduct of sugar cane production and I can’t find it here. However, someone said I could add a little bit of molasses to brown sugar to get something similar.
The recipe below uses just dark brown sugar, but I did notice it’s not quite the same, although it came out pretty good.
The recipe I found called for fresh yeast (bakers yeast) and Americans just doesn’t use that so I’ve found that one packet of dry yeast is 7 grams which equals to 21 grams of fresh yeast.

Chocolate Genache
Chocolate Genache 3/20/2020

Ganache is easy to make, depending on what you need it for the measurements are different. All is based on weight. Layer cake filling and thick glaze: 1:1, equal parts chocolate and cream. Chocolate truffles: 2:1, two parts chocolate to one part cream. Soft icing and pourable glaze: 1:2, one part chocolate to two parts cream. Cooling the Ganache If you plan on pouring the ganache over a cake, pie, or pastry, it will need to be loose enough to flow but thickened enough to stay on the pastry. To whip the ganache for frosting or for layer cake filling, cool the ganache until it is thick, but still soft, and then beat in a stand mixer or with a hand held mixer, until the ganache is fluffy and has lightened in color, about 1 or 2 minutes. To use the ganache to make truffles, you may need to set the pan in the refrigerator so the ganache cools. Remove the pan every 5 minutes or so and stir so that the ganache cools evenly. As the chocolate begins to stiffen, stir it more frequently β€” it will go from soft to very hard quite suddenly. (If this happens, soften the ganache over gently simmering water, stirring until you've reached the right consistency again.)

πŸ‘©β€πŸ³πŸ§‘β€πŸ³πŸ§‘β€πŸ³
πŸ‘οΈ 1730

Ever since I was a small kid I’ve always loved my moms Frikadeller (or Danish meatballs). They’re good warm, but frankly I love them just as much or maybe more cold as a topping for my madpakke with pickled cucumebrs (agurkesalat) or just as a snack. A lot of people mix meats when making them, but I prefer just using ground pork. You can obviously just substitute whatever meat you want in this recipe, although if you use beef you should pick higher fat contents or they will be too lean and fall apart. When it comes to onions, I’ve always just cut the onions somewhat small’ish, however, my daughter does not enjoy onions as much as I do, so now I grate them. This does sometimes create a decent amount of liquid which you might need to account for when adding milk.

This recipe was only the second time making risotto... so yummy. easy but still you need to pay attention. Definitely prepare all your ingredients for this and whatever is accompanying it before you start the risotto. Also a great note that the original recipe made note of is to NOT use a cooking white wine. Use a good white wine you'd want to drink. Definitely stay away from sweeter ones, but you should do that anyway :) First step is to heat up the stock, start that before you start the "mise en place".

I wanted to make a new sauce I hadn't tried before, to serve with some beautifully marinated sous vide grilled pork chops and ran upon this one. Instead of the pan-drippings, you can use a good quality beef base instead, and you could make it off a roux instead of using cornstarch.

Rullepølse
RullepΓΈlse 7/1/2019
πŸ‘©β€πŸ³
πŸ‘οΈ 1327

When I think of RullepΓΈlse, it’s the one my parents used to get from Metro (a Danish Sam’s Club equivalent) which was covered in parsley, delicious but pricey.
The supermarket version, which is typically very fat and with very little flavor is better than nothing, but not amazing.
So I decided to attempt to make my own, and it’s not that difficult, it requires some patience, some prep work and a few tools.
The nice thing about making your own, is that you can get the flavors you like. I love the way I had it as a kid, parsley, onion and pepper is what I am going to be using, but you can add whatever you like.
You should always add a bit more than you think you need.

Tools you need:
Large soup pot, Knife (duh), Cutting board, Butchers Twine, Meat Press… Well… I do have one and it does make it easier, however, you don’t need one. Before I bought mine, I used either two loaf-pans or I’ve used two pieces of wood and clutch clamps or vices. Let your inner MacGyver come to life but remember your contraption needs to fit in the fridge.
In addition a blender or food processor. (you could also just chop it very fine)
β€œThe meat” You can make it from any meat I suppose, but I’ve only ever made it with pork. You should be able to use lamb or beef or a mix. I was just thinking it might be delicious with duck… (lightbulb!)
What you want is what my mom calls a β€œSlag” but good luck explaining that to your butcher.
If you use pork loin, you are likely to get very lean meat and that’s not ideal. You need fat. Not only does it add flavor, but if you use a low fat or fat-free meat, you end up with a rulle that will fall apart when you slice it. So what I do is ask the butcher to save me some β€˜fat-scraps’ I can add to the roll.

A staple in Danish breakfast is Rundstykker. I love the β€œair’yness” of the bread with either just butter (β€œtandsmΓΈr”) or my homemade strawberry marmalade (jam).
I’ve always wanted to try to make them and I read quite a few online recipes and stole a bit from each of them, and since I can’t find fresh yeast I was forced to use the dried version (non-rapid).
