We spent some time with our son’s host families this past summer. A breakfast with fresh rolls, cut in half and topped with jams and cheese is a common morning meal in Denmark. I’ve tried to find a similar recipe and this one is close. The thing I thought was the most interesting is that you mix the yeast with cold water and let it rise overnight in the refrigerator. I had to convert this from metric so the amounts are odd but I don’t measure exactly for these amounts and they still turn out fine.
4.9 C. all purpose flour (I use half all-purpose and half whole wheat)
1.9 C. oats
1/2 C. flax seeds
1/2 C. sunflower or other nuts
2.9 C. water
1 pkg. yeast
3 T. honey
1 T. salt
3 T. canola oil
Topping:
Poppy seeds
Sesame seeds
At Night: Mix cold water, salt, honey, oats and oil in a bowl. Add yeast and add the flour a little at a time. Add flax seeds and nuts. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Next Morning: Take the dough out of the refrigerator. Using an ice cream scoop, shape into 9 or 10 rolls and place on parchment paper lined baking sheets. Let dough rest while you preheat the oven to 430 degrees. Sprinkle with poppy seeds, sesame seeds or both.
Bake for 18- 20 minutes.
Cut in half and top with a mild white cheese and assorted jams or meat and cheese. These are eaten open-faced.

1/2 t. ground nutmeg
1/2 C. butter, cut into pats or small cubes
1 C. Cinnamon flavored chips

4. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, vanilla and eggnog.
5. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until all is moistened and holds together.
6. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface.
7. Divide the dough in half. Roll and pat each half into a circle.
8. Using a knife that has been run until cold water, slice each circle into 8 wedges. Alternately, use a 2 1/4″ round cutter.
9. Put wedges on a lightly greased or parchment lined baking sheet, keeping them at least 1/2 inches apart.
10. Brush the scones with eggnog and sprinkle sugar on top.
11.For best texture and highest rise, place scones in the freezer for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
