ejors

Ejors are a type of traditional Icelandic pastry, often enjoyed during the Christmas season. They are small, round, and slightly sweet pastries, typically made from a dough consisting of flour, butter, sugar, eggs, and sometimes raisins or other dried fruits. The dough is rolled out thinly, cut into circles, and then baked until golden brown. Ejors are often served with a variety of toppings, such as powdered sugar, jam, or whipped cream, and are a popular treat for both children and adults in Iceland. The name "ejors" is derived from the Icelandic word "eir", which means "snow", reflecting the white appearance of the pastries. Ejors are a staple in Icelandic Christmas baking and are often shared among family and friends during the holiday season.
