"Hjorthornssalt" is a leavening agent (baking agent) commonly used in Scandinavian baking. The translation for hjorthornssalt  is ammonium bicarbonate.

Ammonium bicarbonate (E503) is produced artificially and is used as a leavening agent primarily in thin and dry baked goods. Cookies and biscuits are examples of typical baked goods where ammonium bicarbonate is used. In some other recipes, ammonium bicarbonate can replace bicarbonate or baking powder, and in such cases, the same amount of ammonium bicarbonate is used as specified in the recipe. • Ammonium bicarbonate is stored dry and dark.
