Swedish SEMLOR — The Bun That Killed a King!

Описание: Semlor (singular: semla) are Sweden’s most iconic winter buns! You can find metric and imperial measurements below! These soft, cardamom-scented buns are filled with sweet almond paste and a generous cloud of whipped cream, finished with a snowy dusting of powdered sugar. Traditionally, they're enjoyed from New Years through to Easter - and especially on Fat Tuesday/Shrove Tuesday. These selmor buns are rich, cozy, light and delicious!
