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.
Rosinboller (Raisin Rolls)
Bread rolls truly must be the single greatest food on the planet. I mean, they’re like an individual serving of bread, but also like a tiny loaf of bread at the same time.
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.
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.
Hindbærsnitter (Raspberry Bars)
Hindbærsnitter have always been a favorite in our house, and they are definitely a universally beloved pastry in Denmark. You can find them anywhere, and they sometimes vary in appearance.
