World Cuisine Recipes

 
   Like neighbouring Sweden, the traditional cookery of Norway is fairly simple, based around the staples of fish, meat and potatoes. Spices (which had to be sourced from the Mediterranean) were scarce. Stews based on meat and vegetables are common as are a range of fish dishes (particularly using dried and pickled fish). Rolled and pickled meats are also a feature of Norwegian cookery.

1 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt

For first rosette, wipe excess oil from iron with paper towels and dip into batter, but do not allow to come over top of iron. Put iron back in hot oil. Fry for about 20 sec. or until desired color. To remove iron from oil, turn it over to drain. Shake rosette off iron and repeat above steps. Drain rosettes on paper towels. Place paper towels between layers. Place in 300° oven. Turn off heat and allow rosettes to cool. Dust with powdered or regular sugar before serving. Makes approx. 40 rosettes.
