About this dish
Skjenning is a triangular, leaf-thin flatbread that is coated with freshly strained milk and sugar on one side. In Inntrøndelag (the inner parts of middle Norway, consisting of the inner areas of the Trondheim Fjord and Snåsavatnet), skjenning is traditionally used as a condiment to sodd. The name comes from older dialects of Norwegian, «å skinne» (to shine), because the side of the flatbread that is sugared has a shine to it. Skjenning is made from a dough of boiled, mashed potatoes and wheat flour. When rolling out the flatbread, barley flour is used, and during the cooking process, one side is coated with a mixture of milk and sugar. The flatbread is quartered while still on the griddle, and then split further into triangular pieces before being placed under weight to prevent it from curling up.
