Pebernødder (Peppernut Cookies)
Insanely popular in Denmark at Christmastime, these pebernødder are full of warm and delicious winter spices. They are amazingly crunchy and just so addicting!
Brunkager (Danish Gingerbread Cookies)
Brunkager are a classic Christmas cookie in Denmark. “Brunkager” literally means “brown cakes” or “brown cookies,” but we call them Danish gingerbread cookies.
Æbleskiver (Danish Pancake Balls)
Christmas, or Jul in Danish, is a big deal in Denmark. If you have ever found yourself anywhere in Scandinavia in the winter months, you will understand.
Lagkage (Danish Birthday Layer Cake)
In every family, there are certain foods or dishes that bring back memories. In ours, it’s this birthday layer cake, called a fødselsdagslagkage, or just a lagkage.
Kanelsnegle (With Wienerbrødsdej)
Kanelsnegle, or cinnamon snails, are a staple of Danish pastry and by far one of our favorite treats of all time. In fact, our first recipe we posted on this website was for kanelsnegle.
Pumpkin Spice Roulade
This recipe is a follow-up to the classic raspberry roulade recipe we posted recently. As we were making that roulade, we thought, why not change it up a bit?
Kringle (Pretzel Pastry)
Often when writing these recipes, we run into the issue of translating the Danish name of the baked good into English (see our brunsviger recipe for reference). But luckily, this one is easy!
Hindbærroulade (Raspberry Roulade)
A roulade is not technically a Danish dessert, but we would classify it as a classic, favorite cake in both Denmark and in our family. It is similar to a Swiss Roll but without cream or meringue.
Tebirkes (Danish Pastry with Poppy Seeds)
Tebirkes, like spandauer, is a type of Danish pastry that is very popular in Denmark. And as much as we love both spandauer and kanelsnegle, our favorite pastry is definitely tebirkes.
