Fyrstekake
Fyrstekake is a traditional Norwegian dessert made with layers of almond-flavored pastry dough and a sweet filling, often made with a combination of butter, sugar, and almonds. It is typically topped with a lattice pattern made from the same pastry dough.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup cold butter cut into small pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup ground almonds
- 1 egg beaten
- Sliced almonds for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, butter, almond extract, salt, and ground almonds. Mix until the dough comes together.
- Divide the dough in half and press one half into the bottom of the prepared baking sheet to form a crust.
- Spread your preferred filling (such as almond paste or almond frangipane) over the crust.
- Roll out the remaining dough between two sheets of parchment paper and cut strips to create a lattice pattern on top of the filling.
- Brush the lattice with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sliced almonds.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
- Allow the Fyrstekake to cool before slicing and serving.
- Enjoy!
