Here’s another excuse to eat sweets before Lent… Swedish semlor! This traditional Swedish sweet roll spiced with cardamom and filled with almond paste and whipped cream is the ultimate Easter “fika” (mandatory Swedish coffee break). It sometimes is eaten in a bowl with warm milk and consumed before the multiple Easter holidays. I am not knowledgeable enough about those exact days, but it is a tradition enjoyed by many Swedes shortly after Christmas until Easter. Although my husband is not crazy about these (almost sacrilege in Sweden!!), I find them pleasant and delightful. Anyways, anything with a strong brew is fine by me!
Oh, and here’s an English version of the recipe that got good ratings. And another one here too… http://www.swedishfreak.com/swedish-recipes/semlor/
