stýrireiningar

Stýrireiningar, also known as "stýrir" in Icelandic, are traditional Icelandic sweets made from a mixture of flour, sugar, butter, and eggs. They are typically shaped into small, round cakes and are often decorated with colorful icing or sprinkles. Stýrireiningar are a popular treat during the Christmas season in Iceland, often served with coffee or tea. The name "stýrireiningar" translates to "steering wheel cookies" in English, reflecting their round shape. The exact origin of stýrireiningar is unclear, but they are believed to have been popularized in the 20th century. Today, they are a beloved part of Icelandic culinary tradition and can be found in bakeries and supermarkets across the country.
