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.
Kardemummabullar (Swedish Cardamom Buns)
These cardamom-spiced buns are probably one of our favorite sweet buns. And that’s hard for us to admit, as we’re Danish and these buns hail from Sweden.
Finsk Brød (Danish Shortbread Cookies)
It’s December 24th, and we’ve been gearing up for this day for weeks! Tonight is the night that we Danes celebrate Christmas. And there is so much good food to look forward to!
Vaniljekranse (Vanilla Wreath Butter Cookies)
Vaniljekranse, which literally translates to “vanilla wreaths,” are a classic Danish butter cookie. They have a crisp, buttery texture, and lovely vanilla flavor.
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!
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.
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!
