Flodfood: Hamburger Roll-Ups
A comfort food from my childhood. My mother would heat up a can of cream of celery (or sometimes cream of mushroom) soup to pour over these, but they're good with gravy or even ketchup - or just as they are. This was originally a 1970s, stretch-out-the-meat sort of recipe from the back of the Bisquik box, adjusted for what is easily available in Norway and for a household of meat lovers.
First, make the biscuit dough:
3 C flour
1 ½ T baking powder
1 T sugar
¾ t cream of tartar (optional) - this is called "vinstein" in Norway, and the dough works OK without it
½ t salt
150 g butter
1 C milk
Stir together the dry ingredients. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter to make coarse crumbs. Make a well in the middle and pour in the milk. Stir by hand just until the dough sticks together.
Roll out into a large, thin rectangle.
Now, make the filling:
2 med onions, chopped
2 T oil or butter
800 g ground beef
6 T flour
1 t salt
1 t butter
1 C milk
Fry the onions for a few minutes in oil or butter. Mix in the ground beef and fry on high heat until it is completely brown. Mix in flour, salt, and butter. Slowly add the milk, stirring all the time. Bring to a boil and boil for about one minute, then allow to cool for a few minutes.
Spread the filling over the biscuits. Roll up like a jelly roll and slice into 12 pieces. Place in a lightly greased baking pan and bake at 215°C for 15-20 minutes until the biscuits are fully baked.
