''' (, "leaf-bread"; sometimes also called "snowflake-bread" in English) is a traditional kind of Icelandic bread that is almost exclusively eaten in the Christmas season. Originating from northern Iceland but now eaten throughout the country, it consists of round, very thin flat cakes with a diameter of about 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 inches), decorated with leaf-like, geometric patterns and fried briefly in hot tallow or oil.
