Answers:
Icelandic Pancakes (or Crepes) with Whipped Cream.
Batter: 3 cups flour, 4 eggs, 3 tbs. butter (melted), 1/2 tsp. baking soda, 1/2 tsp. baking powder, 1 tsp. vanilla essence, 2 ? -3 cups milk.
Directions: Separate egg whites and beat until stiff. Mix together all other ingredients and add the egg whites last. Bake paper-thin on a hot cast-iron griddle (about 9 inches in diameter). Spread with preserves, jam or jelly, one tablespoon whipped cream. Fold into triangles. Serve with afternoon coffee or as dessert. (Traditional)
Fried Crullers (Kleinur)
Batter: 4 cups flour, 3 tsp. baking powder, 1 tsp. hartshorn (ammonium carbonate), 2 tsp. cardamom, 1/2 cup margarine, 4 1/2 tbs. sugar, 7 tbs. milk, 1 egg.
Directions: Mix together the flour, baking powder, hartshorn and cardamom. Add the margarine, sugar, egg and the milk. Work into a dough. Roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into strips about 3/4 inch wide and about 3 inches long in a slantwise direction, using a pastry wheel and ruler. Make a slit in the center of each cruller and pull one pointed end through. Lower the crullers, one at a time, into hot fat and fry them until golden brown (deep fat frying). Lift them out and let them drain on a paper towel. Serve hot or cold.

The recipes you will find here are traditional Icelandic recipes that have been passed on from generation to generation, newer recipes that are special to me because of the memories attached to them, old ones I have improved on, or new ones I have invented. Some are only marginally Icelandic, but as they represent what we like to eat in my family, I've included them anyway.

Here are a few Icelandic Recipes ranging from the traditional
Sunday Leg of Lamb to the even more traditional Fish Balls.
This is a small selection of Icelandic dishes
that have been favourites through the years.
This selection is my responsibility,
but I dislaim all responsibility for any stomach disorders
that may result from trying these recipes.
