Fattigmann (also spelled Fattigman) is a traditional Norwegian cookie that is popular in Scandinavia. The name "Fattigmann" translates to "poor man" in English, which is somewhat ironic given the richness of the ingredients used in the recipe.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
Fattigmann cookies are made from a rich dough that typically includes the following ingredients:
These ingredients are combined to form a dough that is rolled out thinly, cut into shapes, and then deep-fried until golden brown.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
The preparation of Fattigmann involves several steps:
- The dough is prepared by mixing flour, eggs, sugar, cream, and cardamom until smooth.
- The dough is then rolled out thinly on a floured surface.
- Using a pastry cutter, the dough is cut into diamond shapes, and a slit is made in the center of each piece.
- One end of the diamond is pulled through the slit to form a knot.
- The shaped dough is then deep-fried in hot oil until golden brown.
- Once fried, the cookies are drained on paper towels and dusted with powdered sugar.
Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]
Fattigmann is traditionally served during Christmas and other festive occasions in Norway and other Scandinavian countries. It is one of the many types of Christmas cookies that are prepared during the holiday season.
