hingedete

Hingedete is a traditional Scandinavian dish, originating from Norway, that is typically served during the Christmas season. The dish consists of a large, round cake made from a batter of flour, eggs, sugar, and butter, which is then baked and cooled before being cut into wedges. These wedges are then hinged together, with the cut side facing outwards, to form a circular shape. The cake is then glazed with a sweet syrup made from sugar, water, and lemon juice, which is poured over the top and allowed to drip down the sides. Hingedete is often served with whipped cream or vanilla sauce, and is a popular dessert during the Christmas holidays in Norway. The dish is believed to have originated in the 19th century, and has since become a staple of Norwegian Christmas cuisine.
