Homemade cookies


Explanation:
Plett = liten, rund kake sirupsplette according to the electronic UIO dictionary.
I couldn't find an English translation of sirupsplette
-I wouldn't use handmade. "home-baked cookies" would be another alternative.
You could also use biscuits, if you find cookies a bit too American, but it seems to be used more and more outside the USA.

Homemade (small) pancakes


Explanation:
I consulted my cookery books for this one and it seems like `pletter`are small pancakes, similar to the size of scotch pancakes, and they can be served with sweet and savoury dishes. Anyway, the link below provides a bit more information with images.
