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.
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!
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.
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!
Brunsviger (Coffee Cake)
“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.
Rugbrød (Danish Rye Bread)
If you aren’t familiar with rugbrød, or Danish rye bread, you’re really missing out! We use this dense, seeded bread for open-faced sandwiches, or smørrebrød.
Madtærte (Danish Quiche with Potato & Leeks)
It’s that time of year where the weather seems to be slowly getting cooler, but we all know that winter is right around the corner. So if you’re on the lookout for a simple and satisfying meal – this is it!
Morgenboller (Morning Rolls)
Nothing beats a freshly baked roll and a big cup of coffee in the morning. This is a sentence we will stand by until the end of time, and these morgenboller are seriously some of the best.
Fødselsdagsboller (Birthday Rolls)
If there’s one thing that Danes love, it’s bread. A birthday is not complete without a breakfast table decorated with Danish flags and these yummy, fluffy, cardamom-flavored rolls.
