Poor Knights

There has been much discussion about the proper name for these things. Guess that is what happens when you have three languages to choose from. We made them anyway, the title now being a simple translation from the Swedish (and Finnish) name. And if anyone out there has another suggestion, leave us a comment! Also, on a side note, if Knights really did eat these they can't have been very poor. 

With a pot of hot coffee your Sunday, or Saturday, brunch is off to a good start.

These were made from sweet wheat bread, the same dough in fact that we used to make Semlor. We simply cut up the left over buns, fried them in butter and turned them in a mix of sugar and cinnamon. They can be made in a more "proper" way by mixing together 2 eggs and 1-2 dl of milk and add little bit of flour. Let the bread (if you got some bread going stale you can use that too) soak up the liquid and then fry them before turning over in the sugar, easy-peasy!


Of course, what nice brunch would be complete with out a steaming pot of really dark coffee? Honestly, even if you don't drink the stuff it is pretty to look at - and smells divine - on our brunch, not to say all breakfast mornings, coffee has become an essential ingredient. Perhaps that is what they call caffeine addiction..?
