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.
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.
Spandauer (Danish Pastry with Custard or Jam)
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.
Basic Raspberry Jam
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!
Honningkage (Honey Cake)
Honningkage, or honey cake, is a cake that originated in the south of Denmark in the 18th century. It is largely associated with Christmas, containing all the spices and flavors of the holiday season.
Cremelinser (Mini Custard Pies)
Cremelinser, or just linser, are basically custard-filled shortcrust pies, and they. are. incredible. If you love vanilla custard, you won’t be able to get enough of these little pies!
Pølsehorn (Pigs in a Blanket)
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!
