When we were coming up with ideas for how to tweak the basic version of a fastelavnsbolle, which is basically a soft cardamom bun with a vanilla cream filling, we immediately thought: why not just throw as much chocolate as we can into the mix?
While we already have a Danish pastry dough recipe, this is a slightly tweaked alternative, with enough changes that it made sense to list it separately! It uses less butter and more flour, making it easier to work with and laminate the dough.
We’re starting to sound like a broken record, but the weather is slowly (but surely) getting colder, which means it’s the best time of year to bake!
Kanelsnegle (cinnamon snails/rolls) are one of the best pastries in existence, and apple and cinnamon are iconic fall flavors, so how could you go wrong with a combo of the two? This recipe is for apple cinnamon rolls, and honestly, you have to try them.
If you have been around on Skandibaking for really any amount of time, you will know that a favorite Scandinavian combination of ingredients is fluffy dough and vanilla custard.
It’s mid-May, which means summer is almost here. In the UK, the weather is warming up and the sun is starting to show itself a little more frequently.
It has been a while since we have posted a pastry recipe on the blog. This is mostly because we have done a lot of the Scandi classics, and it takes a bit longer to come up some more innovative ideas.
Although it is certainly not spring weather yet here in the UK or the US, it is that time of year where we are always hoping for a bit of sunshine to peek through the dreary end of winter.
