Semla

Today is Fettisdagen (fat Tuesday), and the Swedes mark the occasion by eating Semlor: buns filled with almond paste and whipped cream. Ebba invited us over so we could make them ourselves.

First, the dough is formed into little balls.

While that is going on, Leo has fun with the food processor, creating a delicious almond paste.

Hot buns, fresh out of the oven!

Each bun is filled with the almond paste, whipped cream, and topped with a sprinkling of powdered sugar.

Yum! Tack så mycket, Ebba!
