Why should the currants be washed?

Dried fruit was often dusty and lightly soiled in 1900, so it was washed before use. Today you can rinse them quickly if you wish.

What does «strødde blikkformer» (dusted tin moulds) mean?

The moulds are greased and then dusted with flour (or sugar) so the cakes release more easily after baking.

Korintkaker (currant cakes)

Small currant cakes from 1900: egg yolks and sugar are whisked, melted butter, washed currants, cognac and flour are stirred in, stiffly whipped whites are folded in, baked in small greased tin moulds until light brown.
