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.
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?
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!
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.
Spandauer are a very popular Danish pastry, and you can find multiple kinds of spandauer in every bakery in Denmark. Spandauer is just a name, and doesn’t have a direct English translation.
Growing up in Denmark, one of our favorite memories was going into the woods with our grandfather to pick wild raspberries. Afterwards, our grandmother would make a large batch of raspberry jam!
Pølsehorn, or pigs in a blanket, are an awesome snack or roll to make for breakfast, lunch, or even brunch! The roll is super fluffy and delicious – we used to absolutely love these as kids!
“Brunsviger” has no direct English translation, but this cake can best be described as a Danish coffee cake. It consists of a soft yeast dough topped with a brown sugar and butter caramel.
