Swedish Semla with roasted almond filling (filled cardamom bun)

February 16th is the Fat Tuesday when we in Sweden eat our icon bun - Semla - the cardamom bun filled with almond filling, heavy whipped cream and sprinkled with some powder sugar. In this recipe I have made my own almond filling with roasted almonds, which give extra taste to the filling. I have [...]

Swedish Brusselkex (Brussels cookie)

This is a very traditional and popular Swedish shortbread cookie. Their main feature is the fancy coating of pink sugar. They are easy to bake, crispy and buttery when you eat them, and the little colorful sugar coating makes the difference. I made my Brussels cookies a bit smaller, and then you can easily have [...]

This lovely bread loaf won't make you disappointed. It's a moist and semi-coarse bread that I think is perfect for a slice of bread for breakfast. If you would like to add dried fruit or nuts, it's a perfect base to experiment with. Ingredients (1 loaf): 1 1/2 tsp dry yeast250 g strong white bread [...]

We have a lot of different kind of Christmas candy and cookies we bake for Christmas in Scandinavia. I have already bake both Gingerbread and Saffron buns (3 times already!).

Raw balls (perfect healthy snack)

After a Halloween weekend full of sugar, I think it's nice to have something more healthy around when the weakness for sweet comes. These healthy raw balls are filled with nutritions and NO added sugar and NO butter. Just plant based fat and sugar. And they taste so good! They remind me a lot of [...]

On Sunday it's Kanelbullens dag, the Cinnamon bun day! Yes, we have a day for that in Sweden, that is how big part of our culture the cinnamon bun is. That doesn't mean we only eat cinnamon buns one day a year. No no no. It is just a day for eating even more of [...]

Swedish Flatbread (Hönökaka) with rye flour

This is a very popular bread in Sweden called Hönökaka. It is like a flatbread and named after the island town Hönö in Gothenburg's northern archipelago. The bread is baked in round flat pieces, but when you buy it in Sweden, it is normally sold as half-circles. Just as with round Swedish crisp breads, the [...]

This is a quick bread loaf that can be done in the morning and be ready when everyone in the family is awake and wants breakfast. No planing needed, no yeast needed and no time for ferment.

Strawberry cake with vanilla curd

Today is Midsummer! This is my favorite Swedish holiday and that I miss the most when I am not in Sweden. We celebrate a whole day that the summer is here, days are longer (4-5h between sun set and sun rise) and the vacation is around the corner. That is really something to celebrate. What [...]
