Icelandic Twisted Doughnuts | Kleinur (10pcs)

We like to say that you don't get to Englisha'fy this one...

But if you tried, you'd call it Icelandic Twisted Doughnuts. Lightly sweet, faintly cardamom, fried until golden. The biscuit tin staple of every Icelandic grandmother, without exception.

Ingredients: Wheat flour, sugar, butter, eggs, milk, baking powder, cardamom, salt, vegetable oil for frying.

How to prepare: Eat as they are. No warming required.

Serving tip: Best with strong black coffee or a cold glass of milk. The traditional Icelandic afternoon pause. 

Origin: Kleinur arrived in Iceland from Scandinavia in the 18th century and never left. Every household has a recipe; most claim theirs is the correct one. The twist in the middle is non-negotiable.

Authentic Icelandic kleinur. Traditional Icelandic doughnuts.
