FISH PUDDING (FISKEGROT)

Steps:

• Place the fish in a food processor and process until smooth. You may have to do this in 2 batches.
• Remove it to the bowl of your electric mixer.
• Add the potato starch, seasonings, and the eggs, 1 at a time, beating in thoroughly.
• Add the butter and then the cream and milk, beating until light and fluffy.
• Place mixture in a buttered loaf pan, cover with foil, then place the pan in a large pan of hot water. The water should come 2" up the side of the fish pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour.
• Slice and serve with a cream sauce. Or you can serve it with fried onions instead.
• You can also mold the fish batter into small balls and poach them in fish stock.

NORWEGIAN FISH MOUSSE (FISKEPUDDING)

Steps:

• Rinse and pat dry the fillets, remove any skin, mince the fish, mince several times so you have a fine texture.
• You may use your blender but be careful you do not want to puree it - It is better to do it by hand so the fish retains some texture but is finely minced.
• Add salt, pepper, nutmeg and potato flour, mix well.
• Stir the farce vigorously and slowly incorporate the milk & cream, beating all the time.
• Butter a 2 1/2-3 pint oblong mould, sprinkle in the bread crumbs coating the mould.
• Add the mousse until the mould is 3/4 full.
• Cover with buttered foil or release foil.
• Place mould in a larger dish, fill with water.
• Bake in 375 oven for approximately 1 hour or until a knife comes out clean.
• Invert the mould very carefully.
• Decorate with the shrimp & parsley.
• Serve with sauce poured over it.
• Serve hot or at room temperature.

FISKEBUDDING (FISH PUDDING)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Skin and bone the fish, and cut into small pieces. Set aside.
• Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch loaf pan heavily with butter. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs, tipping the pan to evenly distribute crumbs.
• Also grease a piece of aluminum foil big enough to cover the loaf pan.
• Begin heating a saucepan of water to a boil, to use later when baking the pudding.
• Using a blender or food processor, purée fish and cream in small batches until smooth.
• Place puréed fish in a large mixing bowl. Add salt, nutmeg and cornstarch; beat at medium-high speed until light and fluffy.
• Pour mixture into prepared loaf pan. Pick up the pan and bang it on the counter several times, to remove any air bubbles in the pudding.
• Seal greased foil tightly over the top of the pan. Place pan in a deep baking pan; add boiling water 3/4 of the way up the sides of the loaf pan.
• Bake 60 to 75 minutes, until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Note that during baking, the water around the mold should simmer (but not boil!) constantly; adjust the temperature as necessary.
• Let pudding cool 5 minutes.
• Pour off any excess liquid; run a sharp knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the pudding. Hold a serving platter on top of the pan and quickly invert the pan and platter to remove the pudding. Soak up any extra liquid with paper towels.

RUSSIAN PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and salt. Sift the flour into the bowl, and stir in along with the milk. Mix until smooth and well blended. The batter should be thin.
• Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Lightly oil the pan or spray with cooking spray. Pour about 2 tablespoons of the batter, or as much as desired, into the pan. Tilt the pan to spread the batter out evenly. When the edges are crisp looking and the center appears dry, slide a spatula carefully under the blin. Flip, and cook for about 1 minute on the other side, or until lightly browned.
• Remove blini to a plate. Put a little butter on top, and continue to stack the blini on top of each other. To serve, spread with desired filling, then fold in half, and in half again to form a triangle. Mmm Mmm!
