"Posted for Zaar World Tour 2005. Just picked this recipe up when I was in Iceland from a cookbook called Cool Dishes. I think kids might really like this recipe, and it's relatively healthy too!

"Most Icelanders have an enormous “sweet tooth” and an Icelandic afternoon tradition called “Kaffi og Kaka” (coffee and cake) is 1 way they indulge their craving.

"After a trip to Iceland in 2003, my husband learned to love the taste of skyr, and after we got home from vacation I came up with a close approximation of it.

Brown sugar would probably be..."
