It’s about time we wrote out a recipe for Denmark’s national dish – smørrebrød, aka open-faced sandwiches! We grew up eating simplified versions of the sandwiches in this recipe for lunch, and fancier versions for family events around Christmas or Easter.
Smørrebrød is, in fact, the national dish of Denmark! It translates directly to “butter bread,” which is a pretty accurate name, as the first step to making delicious smørrebrød is usually to butter your bread.
Somehow we have already reached the month of autumn turning into winter, even though I swear it was August yesterday! Halloween is over, which means it’s time to start thinking about…Christmas!
Hi everyone! If you’ve been following along with recent recipes on our blog, you’ll know that we just shared a base recipe for wienerbrødsdej, or Danish pastry dough.
We haven’t shared a classic Danish pastry recipe in a while, so we’re super excited for today’s post! When we started our blog, we very quickly developed and posted recipes for our favorite traditional Danish pastries, like spandauer, kanelsnegle, and tebirkes.

February in Scandinavia is the season of Fastelavn and fastelavnsboller. In Denmark, this holiday is similar to Carnival and involves children dressing up in costumes and hitting barrels filled with candy.
December 13th is Saint Lucy’s Day (Luciadag), a Christian holiday that Scandinavia celebrates. It is an imported Swedish holiday in Denmark, so most of our traditions stem from Sweden.
