KORENDEKAGER (CURRANT BISCUITS)



Korendekager (currant Biscuits) image

Posted in reply to a request for a Danish butter cookie recipe. This recipe is from my old (1973) "Common Market Cookbook/Denmark." The yield for this recipe isn't given in the book and its been so long since I've made them, I really don't remember how many cookies it makes.

Categories     Roast Beef

Time 10h30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 -4 lbs beef brisket (from fatty end)
1/4 cup coriander seed, crushed in a mortar
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/3 cup yellow mustard

Steps:

  • Rinse the brisket under cold water and pat dry. Season with the coriander, salt, pepper, paprika and cayenne.
  • Heat the oil in a roasting pan until just smoking. (Make sure area is well-ventilated). Sear the brisket until browned on all sides. Remove to platter, cover, and let stand about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, arrange 2 long overlapping sheets of aluminum foil that are large enough to envelop the brisket on a work surface.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 deg F.
  • Mix the brown sugar and mustard in a small bowl to make a small paste. Rub the brisket with the paste and place on top of the foil sheets.
  • Tightly wrap the brisket in the foil so that no mustard paste can escape.
  • Place the brisket on a roasting rack set in a roasting pan and cook for 10 hours; when done, a paring knife should pierce the meat with ease. Let cool slightly.
  • Unwrap the brisket, slice and serve with mashed potatoes.
  • Leftover brisket can be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Note: I made this last weekend with beef ribs - just the rub, not the paste. I sectioned the ribs and rubbed with the spice mixture, then threw into the slow cooker for about ten hours on low. Very tender and flavorful. So, another option.

CURRANT COOKIES



Currant Cookies image

Categories     Cookies     Bake     Currant

Yield makes about 40 small cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
1/2 cup minus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, sifted
2 tablespoons currants tossed with 1/4 teaspoon all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine the butter and sugar. Use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to beat together until light and fluffy. Beat in the salt and vanilla until well mixed. Add the egg whites gradually, beating thoroughly after each addition to incorporate fully. Gently mix in the flour to create a smooth batter. Stir in the currants, distributing them evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until the batter has firmed up and is easier to manipulate.
  • Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Use 2 demitasse spoons (or other small spoons) to shape the cookies. Scoop up about 1 teaspoon of batter with 1 spoon and slide it off with the other spoon onto the baking sheet. As you work, space the cookies about 2 inches apart. Do your best to create marble-sized mounds.
  • Bake the cookies, 1 sheet at a time, for 12 to 13 minutes, or until the edges are brown and the centers are pale yellow. Remove from the oven and let cool on the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer the cookies to racks to finish cooling and crisping before serving. Store any left over cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.

Tips:

  • Use fresh and ripe currants. This will ensure that your biscuits have the best flavor.
  • Do not overmix the dough. Overmixing will result in tough biscuits.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the biscuits to keep their shape.
  • Bake the biscuits until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Serve the biscuits warm with butter or jam. This is the traditional way to enjoy korendekager.

Conclusion:

Korendekager are a delicious and easy-to-make Danish treat. They are perfect for a quick breakfast or snack. These biscuits are also a great way to use up fresh currants. If you are looking for a new and delicious recipe to try, give korendekager a try. You won't be disappointed.
