About the dish

The cheese horns are listed among the soups in the book and are meant as a small savoury accompaniment to the soup.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Knead the dough

    Quickly knead the flour, butter, grated cheese, baking powder, cream and salt together while everything is cold. Leave the dough in a cool place for half an hour.

  2. 2

    Shape the horns

    Roll out the dough and cut it into small triangles. Roll each triangle up into a small horn.

  3. 3

    Brush and bake

    Brush the horns with egg and sprinkle with a little salt. Bake in the oven (about 200 °C (390 °F)) until pale golden.

Changes from the original

Grams and decilitres are kept; teaspoons are given as tsp. The original gives no oven heat, and about 200 °C (390 °F) is a cautious reading of baking them pale golden.
