tostigs

Tostigs are a type of traditional Scandinavian pastry, originating from the Nordic countries of Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. The name "tostig" is derived from the Swedish word "tost", which means "toasted". These pastries are typically made from a simple dough consisting of flour, water, and sometimes a small amount of butter or lard. The dough is rolled out thinly and cut into shapes, which are then toasted in a pan until golden brown. Tostigs are often served as a snack or a light meal, and can be enjoyed plain or with various toppings such as butter, jam, or cheese. They are a popular treat in Scandinavian cuisine and are often associated with traditional holiday celebrations and family gatherings. The simplicity of the recipe and the versatility of the toppings make tostigs a beloved and enduring part of Nordic culinary tradition.
