Fyllmerket

Fyllmerket is a traditional Norwegian dish that has gained popularity in recent years. It is a type of filled pastry, similar to a turnover, but with a unique twist. The pastry is made from a thin, flaky dough that is filled with a mixture of cream cheese, sugar, and sometimes additional ingredients like vanilla or cinnamon. The filling is typically sweet, but savory variations also exist.

The dough for fyllmerket is usually made from a combination of flour, butter, and water, and is often rolled out thinly to create a delicate pastry. The filling is spread onto the dough, which is then folded over to enclose the filling. The edges are crimped to seal the pastry, and it is often brushed with an egg wash before baking.

Fyllmerket is typically baked until golden brown and flaky, and is often served as a dessert or a snack. It can be enjoyed plain or with a dusting of powdered sugar. The dish is a staple in Norwegian cuisine and is often served at special occasions and holidays.

The origin of fyllmerket is not well-documented, but it is believed to have been influenced by both Scandinavian and French pastries. The dish has evolved over time, with variations in filling and dough recipes being passed down through generations. Today, fyllmerket is a beloved treat in Norway and is enjoyed by people of all ages.
