Flatkaka (lit. flat cake) or flatbrauð (lit. flat bread) is an Icelandic unleavened rye flatbread. Flatkaka is soft round thin and dark with a characteristic pattern from the pan. Traditionally flatkaka was baked on hot stones or straight on the embers of the fire later on small but heavy cast iron frying pans and today when making flatkaka at home people sometimes bake them directly on an electric hot plate to get the desired result.
