Frøsnapper (Danish Pastry Twists)
Welcome to our fourth Danish pastry recipe! We gave you spandauer, then tebirkes, then kanelsnegle, and now – frøsnapper! If we sound excited about it, that’s because we are.
Flødeboller (Chocolate Marshmallow Domes)
If you’ve ever had a flødebolle, you’ll understand what I mean when I say that it’s a transformational experience. There’s nothing quite like eating one of these.
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.
Medaljer (Pastry Cream Cakes)
These medaljer, or pastry cream cakes, are a decadent and delicious treat perfect for a dinner party or gathering. Medaljer literally translates to “medals.”
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.
Lagkage (Danish Birthday Layer Cake)
In every family, there are certain foods or dishes that bring back memories. In ours, it’s this birthday layer cake, called a fødselsdagslagkage, or just a lagkage.
Drømmekage (Coconut-Vanilla Dream Cake)
Drømmekage means “dream cake” in Danish, and there’s really no better way to describe this cake. Just imagine the fluffiest vanilla cake covered in a sticky, crispy caramel coconut topping – a dream!
Havregrynskager (Oat Cookies)
These crispy and thin oat cookies, flavored with orange and vanilla and drizzled with chocolate, are so easy to make and so yummy! Seriously, you will never meet a simpler recipe.
Kagecreme (Danish Pastry Cream)
In Denmark, kagecreme is an essential component of the Danish birthday layer cake, or fødselsdagslagkage. It’s also a component in many other desserts and baked goods, including pastries.
