Annas Original Pepparkakor (Gingerbread Cookies) 2 x300g

Product Information

This Swedish ginger cookie is called Pepparkakor. There is no pepper included even though the name gives that suggestion. If you love ginger snaps then you will devour these! Pepparkakor is also known as make-a-wish biscuits. There is a small game played with Pepparkakor that has survived the centuries, you place a biscuit on the palm of your hand and press it in the middle. If the biscuit breaks into three pieces, you can make a silent wish for something you want to come real. Certifications

It’s the classic Annas Pepparkakor that has spread happiness for generations: as much the obvious choice for parties and traditional festivities – as for a moment’s enjoyment at any time Ingredients: Wheat flour, sugar, vegetable oils (palm, rapeseed, coconut), syrup, raising agent (sodium hydrogen carbonate), orange puree 1%, ginger, natural orange flavoring, salt, ginger.

[ citation needed] Carefully lift each biscuit and place on your baking trays – leave a slight gap between each as they do expand slightly. You will fit about twenty per baking tray. Gather up the remaining dough and join with the rest of the mass. Break off another portion and repeat the process until all your dough is used up. Roll them about as thin as 1mm – don’t worry, they do rise a little in the oven. Use a small cookie cutter to cut out your shapes. You can choose whatever you want – simple circles, stars, or even gingerbread men.Mix the flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt together in bowl. In the meantime, heat the butter in a pan over a medium heat until melted. Tip The dough can be refrigerated for up to two days or frozen for up to one month if you want to get ahead. Let the dough stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before shaping. Let frozen dough thaw overnight before proceeding with the recipe.

Add the dry mixture all at once and beat until well combined. It'll be very crumbly and dry. Use your hands to combine it and bring it together into a dough. Form into a disc and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until very firm. If you’ve ever stepped into a supermarket in Sweden (the food section in your local Ikea will provide the next best alternative) you may know about pepparkakor. They’re a much loved Christmas cookie, but I like to enjoy them all year. Mix the dry ingredients of flour, baking soda, salt, and spices together in a large bowl and set aside the flour mixture.
