lettåhuske

Lettåhuske, also known as lettåhusker or lettåhuskerne, are a traditional Danish pastry. They are small, round, and slightly flattened cookies made from a simple dough of flour, butter, and sugar. The dough is rolled out thinly and cut into circles before being baked until golden brown. Lettåhuske are often dusted with powdered sugar or icing sugar after baking, which gives them their characteristic white appearance.

The name "lettåhuske" translates to "little ear muffs" in English, reflecting their shape and size. They are typically served as a dessert or a snack, often accompanied by tea or coffee. Lettåhuske are also a popular treat during the Christmas season in Denmark, where they are often served with gløgg (mulled wine) or hot chocolate.

The exact origin of lettåhuske is unclear, but they have been a part of Danish baking tradition for centuries. They are often associated with the Danish countryside and are sometimes referred to as "country cookies." Lettåhuske are a simple yet delicious treat that has become a beloved part of Danish culinary heritage.
