Varme hveder (Danish Wheat Buns)
Coming up this Friday, April 30th is a Danish holiday called “Store Bededag” or “Great Prayer Day.” It is celebrated on the fourth Friday after Easter.
Fyrstekake (Norwegian Prince’s Cake)
We are so excited about today’s recipe! It’s our first attempt at posting a Norwegian recipe, so we certainly hope we do it justice. But also, this cake is just so delicious and classic!
Fastelavnsboller (Danish Carnival Buns)
This weekend is Shrove Sunday, and in Denmark (and some other Nordic countries), that means it’s Fastelavn, aka time for baked goods and fun traditions!
Hindbærsnitter (Danish Raspberry Bars with Lattice)
These hindbærsnitter, or raspberry bars, are some of our favorite pastries of all time, mainly because they’re so simple. Made of buttery shortcrust pastry and tart raspberry jam, they’re the perfect treat!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
