Delicious Tall Skoleboller Recipe - Authentic Norwegian Dessert

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk (warm)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup butter (melted)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for icing)
  • 1 cup coconut flakes (for topping)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Dough

    In a large bowl, mix the warm milk and sugar until dissolved. Add yeast and let it sit for 10 minutes until frothy.

    Make sure the milk is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast.
  2. Combine Ingredients

    Add melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually mix in flour until a dough forms.

    Use a stand mixer for easier mixing if available.
  3. Knead the Dough

    Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

    Add flour as necessary to prevent sticking.
  4. Let it Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

    Keep the dough in a warm, draft-free area for optimal rising.
  5. Shape and Bake

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the dough, shape into buns, and place on a baking sheet. Let rise for another 30 minutes before baking.

    Brush the tops with egg wash for a shiny finish.
