Ingrid upSmörgåstårta for kids
Ca: 12 - 16 serv.
Ingredients:
1 kg shrimps, with shells
White bread, toastbread
3 dl sourcream
3 dl mayonnaise
apprx 300 gram smoked ham, lean
fresh cucumber
2-3 tblsp grated horseradish
dill
Instructions:
shell the shrimps. Cut all edges off the bread.
Place the bread on a large plate. Mix sourcream and mayonnaise,
cut ham and cucumber in very small dices and mix with the mayo-creammix.
cover the bread with the ham-mayo-cream. Place a layer of bread on top
of it. Spread the rest of the ham-mayo-cream on the bread. Place more
bread on top. Add some horseradish in mayonnaise and make sure it's not
too strong in flavour. Spread this mix all over the bread.
Wrap the cake in plastic-foil and leave in the fridge, preferably overnight.
If you do that, dont shell the shrimps until it's time to decorate,
but I guess you know that.
Garnish with shrimps, dill, tomatoes, cucumber or whatever you know your
kids appreciate. Just remember to be generous with the filling, the bread
is like a sponge and sucks the moist, if you don't add enough filling the
smörgåstårta will be dry.
I hope you will find this tasty,

Can you help me??
Thank you in advance, Niklas

Hi Niklas,
This wasn't easy, I feel sorry for your mum,
she misses out on many things...
I suggest you make a smörgåstårta of things you know she likes.
You can find different fillings here on my homepage and garnish
with anything you find suitable.
If you run out of ideas you can always try the following two: (see recipes)

up"Bottom" for smörgåstårtas
Hi!
Found your yummy recipes for smörgåstårtas and thought I'd send
you a recipe for the bottom of a smörgåstårta. Then it will be
100% hand made!
This will be enough for at least 3, maybe more plates depending on how thick you
make them.
10 dl room tempered milk (do not heat at all!)
5 dl rolled oats
2,5 hg margarine (melted)
1,5hg white sugar
100-150 grams yeast
1,7-2 litre flour
Let the oatmeal soak in the milk for a while. Mix the melted cooled butter and the
rest of the ingredients. Work the flour into the dough untill it "feels good"
Roll out the dough rather thin on greased oven plates, appr. 3-4 baking plates.
Let the dough rise for 2 hours. Then bake in oven, 175 - 190 centigrades apprx.10
minutes or until they have that nice golden colour.
The recipe is from my mother in law, that's why the measurements and times are only
estimates.
Bye from Rita. Good luck!
