Hálfverð

Hálfverð is a type of traditional Icelandic food dish, primarily consisting of a mixture of chopped codfish, warmed milk, and flattened fried bread. The ingredients are typically served together in a single dish. The dish is often referred to as a "pönnukökur dough" for its association with a type of flat, deep-fried doughcake called pönnukökur, although it is not a cake per se.

The recipe involves starting with flattened pönnukökur, which are then pan-fried. Meanwhile, a codfish mixture is made by boiling the fish, flaking it, and then heating it with warmed milk in a saucepan. The pönnukökur are served in the codfish mixture. This composes the主要 part of the dish.

Hálfverð is a relatively simple to prepare dish that is often served in people's homes as part of Iceland's traditional cuisine. It incorporates elements of Nordic and Northern European culinary traditions. Although relatively unknown outside of Iceland, hálfverð is considered a classic Icelandic dish with long standing tradition and cultural identity.

Preparations may vary among modern cookbooks. Typically the recipe asks for same flour pönnukökur lightened with baking powder to brown in frying oil on preheated - nonstick-fry-pan inside Icelanders homes.
