In a bowl,mix these five things;
1. 6 and a half cups of flour
2. 2 teaspoons of baking soda
3. 2 teaspoons ground anise seed, pulverized
4. 2 teaspoons ground fennel seed, pulverized
5. 2 teaspoons of salt
Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and add these two things
1. 2 and a half cups of plain yogurt (maybe buttermilk could be used)*
2. 3/4 cup of light baking syrup

* the original recipe calls for filmjölk instead of yogurt, in english you might call it sour milk,it is very much like yogurt, a bit thinner. To get the moisture content right in the dough, it might need some adjustment.
Mix this stuff up and seperate it into 20 pieces, roll them out with a rolling pin to 7 inch circles, dusting with flour to prevent sticking.
Now fry them in a dry pan, just until brown on each side, it does not take long at all. I have two pans going, and Magnus does the frying He says stompa is an ancient scandinavian recipe, they may have used different ingredients in the past, but frying the dough on hot stones! Its that old.
