CHARLOTTE'S PEPPER NUTS

WHEN A GINGERBREAD BAKER…

In Hakkebakkeskoven, you need a huge pot and a kilo of butter when baking gingerbread.

You don't need quite that much butter if you want to indulge in Hotel Koldingfjord's delicious peppernuts.

But they're not exactly low in calories, so it's important to remember that we don't get fat between Christmas and New Year's, but between New Year's and Christmas.

See the recipe for our baker Charlotte's amazing pepper nuts right here.

Good luck with them. Bake plenty, they will be a hit with family and guests! 

Ingredients

100 g butter
100 g sugar
½ cup cream
¼ tsp. ground ginger
½ tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. baking powder
¼ tsp. baking soda
¼ tsp. white pepper
200 g wheat flour

Course of action

Knead everything together to a uniform dough – preferably in a mixer. Weigh the dough and roll out sausages of approx. 100 g each.

Put the sausages in the freezer until the next day. Now chop the peppercorns into appropriate sizes – about one centimeter each – while the dough is frozen.

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius using fan-forced air. Bake the peppercorns for approx. 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye on them – they should not get too brown.

Remember to taste them while they are still warm!
