Notes
Baking ammonia (hjorthornssalt) is a traditional leavening agent used in Scandinavian baking. It has a strong smell during baking, but it dissipates, leaving behind a delicious flavor. If you prefer, you can substitute it with baking powder, using 1 teaspoon of baking powder instead of the baking ammonia.
