réttingar

Rettings are a type of Icelandic food, specifically a pastry. They are typically made from a leavened dough that is fried and then often glazed or dusted with sugar. The dough itself is usually quite simple, similar to a donut dough.

The shape of rettings can vary, but they are often round or oval. Some versions may have a filling, such as jam or cream, although plain fried dough is also common. The preparation involves allowing the dough to rise, shaping it, and then deep-frying until golden brown.

Rettings are a popular treat in Iceland, particularly during certain festive periods or as a casual snack. They can be found in bakeries and cafes across the country. The taste is generally sweet and the texture is soft and slightly chewy on the inside with a crisp exterior from the frying. The simplicity of the ingredients and preparation makes them an accessible and traditional part of Icelandic cuisine.
