A delicious, eye-pleasing Easter treat inspired by Nordic culture and the promise of spring
Gorgeous nature-inspired treats and innovative recipes arrive just in time for Easter as part of the new cookbook Bakeland: Nordic Treats Inspired by Nature by designer, writer and Instagram expert Marit Hovland. In it, she shares recipes that celebrate Nordic culture and cuisine, season by season. Including this beautiful how-to for spring.
“The birds are chirping, and you can tell they’re happy spring is here. The siskin, a European finch, lays especially pretty eggs—white or light blue with brown speckles. I make the spots on these egg-shaped cookies with the help of a toothbrush and some cocoa powder. Covered in lemon icing, they’re just right for the season.
“These chocolate-filled eggs make perfect Easter gifts. Save an empty egg carton and cover the label with fancy paper. Place a cookie egg in each dimple and tie a ribbon around the carton. Pick a small twig of pussy willows and attach it to the outside along with an Easter card.”
Roll out little balls (around 2 teaspoons) of the almond dough. Narrow them at one end so the balls form an egg shape. Flatten the balls onto parchment paper and then transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
