- Comments
- Editors note: The way the Danes do it--at least they way they do in the Danish community of Solvang, California--is to use a knitting needle to work them loose around the edges and turn them. Start turning early in the cooking process and rotate them in the cup until they form a round ball. Works like a charm every time. I've been doing it since Danish Days in Solvang more than a few years ago! We serve these every year for Mother's Day breakfast.
Also known as Norwegian Monk Cakes.
