Napoleonshatte (Marzipan Napoleon Hats)
We often share recipes that mean a lot to us or have sentimental value, whether it’s something we ate a lot growing up or a recipe that has been passed down.
Tarteletter (Tartlets w/ Chicken and Asparagus)
These tarteletter are one of our favorite Danish dishes. The combination of the chicken and asparagus sauce and the flaky pastry shell is absolute perfection.
Kransekage (Marzipan Wreath Cake)
This dessert is probably one of the most unique Scandinavian cakes we can think of. “Kransekage” translates to “wreath cake,” and is basically a stack of baked and decorated marzipan rings.
Sourdough Rugbrød (Rye Bread)
We posted our original Danish rye bread recipe (check it out here) over a month ago, and we’re back for more! This time, it’s more of a complicated process involving sourdough starter.
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.
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.
