Bakermester Harepus' Pepperkakebakersang - Thorbjørn Egner, Jan Martin Johnsen, Katzenjammer

Når en pepperkakebaker, baker pepperbakekaker

Tar han først en stekegryte

Og en kilo margarin

Oppi gryta smelter smøret, og det neste han må gjøre

Er å røre sammen smøret og en kilo med farin

— Farin, det er det samme som sukker det

— Ja, jeg veit det!

Og mens smør og sukker skummer

Tar man åtte eggeplummer, som man rører ut i gryta

Med en kilo hvetemjøl

Og til slutt i gryta slepper man en liten teskje pepper

Også rører man omkring og tømmer deigen på ei fjøl

— Sånn er det!

— Da er det ingen sak!

— Etterpå kjevler du deigen så flat som en pannekake

— Så flat som en pannekake

— Så tar du mann- og koneformer og lager mann- og konekaker

— Mann- og koneformer og lager mann- og konekaker

— Og legger dem på kakebrettet, og steker dem i steker ovnen

— Og legger dem på kakebrettet, og steker dem i stekerovnen

— Det er utmerket, gå i gang!

— Det er i gang, jeg går utmerket!

When a gingerbread baker, bake gingerbread cakes

He first takes a frying pan

And a kilo of margarine

In the pot, the butter melts, and the next thing he has to do

Is to stir together the butter and a kilo of brown sugar

- Brown, it's the same thing as sugar

- Yes, I know that!

And while butter and sugar froth

Take eight egg yolks, which you stir into the pot

With a kilo of wheat flour

And finally in the pot you drop a small teaspoon of pepper

You also stir and empty the dough on a felt

- That's how it is!

- Then there is no case!

Afterwards, roll the dough as flat as a pancake

- As flat as a pancake

- Then you take husband and wife forms and make husband and wife cakes

- Husband and wife forms and makes husband and wife cakes

- And put them on the cake tray, and fry them in the oven

- And put them on the cake tray, and bake them in the oven

- It's excellent, get started!

- It's going on, I'm doing great!
