Fordreje

Fordreje is a term that refers to a specific type of traditional Danish pastry. It is a small, round cake made from a simple dough consisting of flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and sometimes a touch of baking powder. The dough is typically rolled out thinly and cut into circles, which are then baked until golden brown. Fordreje is often flavored with a variety of fillings, such as jam, chocolate, or fruit preserves, which are placed in the center of the dough before baking. Once baked, the pastry is cooled and the filling is added, creating a delightful contrast between the crispy exterior and the soft, sweet interior. This pastry is a popular treat in Danish cuisine and is often enjoyed as a snack or dessert.
