Heja Sverige! Och tack för laskiaispullat!
I moved to Sweden recently and one of my friends is showing me all the best treats. Semlor my goodness I don’t even like almonds but these things are amazing. I found out just a couple days ago eating them in a bowl of varm mjölk is a thing too? They’re already so messy to eat but that sounds too good to not try
It’s called hetvägg when you eat it with milk I believe. Never tried it myself (am Swedish), but I know some people like that. Semlor on their own are great though, glad you’re enjoying them!
Oh, my sweet Lord.
Yes, I’ll take 2 dozen. Don’t judge me.
Reminds me of Paris Brest.
Aah, the King killer diet!
According to legend King Adolf Fredrik of Sweden died after eating 14 semlor during a feast.
Just don’t eat 14 or more of them at once
Try and stop me.
That depends. Is OP royalty?
Looks like fastelavnsboller to me, at least that’s what it’s called in Danish
Vastlakuklid here in Estonia. Over here it’s either just whipped cream inside (boring) or more commonly whipped cream and jam (usually lingonberry) or sometimes they may have marzipan too
They’re a little different, but it’s a very similar concept.
Similar in purpose, but the Swedish ones have lots of flødeskum and marcipan
The swedish one has almond creme filling.
Its not often i see this type of fastalavnsbolle, i mostly see the closed type. is it marmelade or the yellow cake creme that is used in the whipped creame type?Yeah same, typically the closed (old school/gammeldags) type. I thought the cream was flavored flødeskum, but I have no idea
Semlor? 😋
Fastlagsbullar
What is it?
It’s a semla. Something of a dry fluffy bread with whipped cream and a filling made on almonds. Vanilla sugar on the top. There also exist other variants with different bread or fillings. This however is the traditional semla.
We do not speak of the other ones. The false ones. The lies.
