Method:

Preparation time: 40–60 min
Difficulty level: medium

NOTE: It's important that all the ingredients have the same temperature and are as cold as possible.

1. Add salt and knead the dough by hand or in a food processor until it becomes viscous (sticks to your fingers).

2. Add cold milk a little at a time, mixing the dough well between each time. Add potato flour and spices when you have added 2/3 of the milk. Stir well, and add the remaining milk.

3. Shape the dough into small round cakes using a spoon. Fry in butter at a medium temperature in a pan until brown. Simmer in water, stock or broth for approx. ten minutes.

4. Cut the apple into slices. Fry them together with the prunes in a pan with butter.

Serve together with pork ribs, ribbe, and other traditional Norwegian Christmas dishes or with sauerkraut, boiled potatoes and gravy.
