Kanelsnurrer
For Christmas, I offer you one of the many recipes from my new book, Scandalously Decadent, published by Flammarion, the Kanelsnurrer. I redid everything step by step for the blog, and the picture you see here is not the one from the book. You have to try this recipe, just for the incredibly delicious smell of baking these kanelsnurrer, these "cinnamon swirls". Because in addition to the cinnamon in the filling, the paste also contains cardamom. This is the original, Scandinavian version of cinnamon buns. Despite the apparent complexity of the designs, the recipe is actually very simple and quick to make. Just make the dough early enough to let it rest. The little trick to make the twists is not complicated and the result is amazing: the kanelsnurrer are soft and fragrant!

Gingerbread with Orange and Nuts
I still keep a few recipes secret (I have a notebook full of wonders) and this was almost one of them. I had told you about the Beillevaire cake (see the report HERE), but I am also a lover of Baramel gingerbread. I love their texture, their flavor and especially their super soft and caramelized crust (which is not a crust anymore). There is no egg in their gingerbread. Here I have composed my recipe with this spirit, namely a soft and firm texture and a tender crust. It is not strictly speaking gingerbread, because I put butter and eggs in it. If you wait until the next day to taste it, it will develop its full potential. Very different from the gingerbread I gave you(THERE), this little one quickly became my new favorite with its orange flavor and nuts.
Ingredients
- 50 g semi-salted butter
- 50 g caster sugar
- 170 g liquid honey
- 155 g orange marmelade
- 220 g flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- 95 g egg (break 2 eggs into an omelette and weight 95g)
- 65 g nuts (you can leave them out)
Instructions
- Place the butter, sugar, orange marmalade and honey in a saucepan. Heat over low heat just to melt the butter.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, 4-spice and baking soda.
- Pour the liquid over the flour and mix briskly with a whisk.
- Add the eggs (in the picture there is only one, don't take it into account!).
- Finish with the nuts.
- The dough is ready!
- Pour the batter into your pan. I used small cardboard molds, which are handy to take with me or to give as gifts. You can of course bake the gingerbread in a classic buttered and floured pan. The important thing is to have the dough three quarters of the way up.The quantity of dough is suitable for a small mold of 160X80mm. But you can make several small gingerbread.
- Bake at 145°C for 55 minutes. Check for doneness and adapt to your own oven and the size of the pan you choose. The dough should be cooked and the crust nicely browned.
- Let cool overnight in the pan. The crust will get all chewy. The next day you can wrap it in cling film to preserve it.
