Story
The royal dessert of the kingdom of Norway. I don’t see many making this dessert at home, but do read about it whenever the royals invite the ministers for a special dinner. It’s classic Norwegian ingredients. How they would make a dessert out of leftover breadcrumbs from cutting bread for breakfast. To using the ”ugly” apples for a sweet apple jam. It takes about 30 minutes to make and you can prepare it hours in advanced. Why it got the name ”Veiled Peasant Girls” I really don’t know, but my granddad remembers having it as a child. So if you want to end your meal like a real king or queen, this is what I recommend.
