Swedish semla recipe

The best Semla recipe from the US Swedish Embassay Ambassador's chef. A traditional Swedish Lenten pastry, Semla is a cardamom bun filled with whipped cream and almond paste. Addictive and delicious!

When you think Mardi Gras desserts, a King Cake is usually the first thing that comes to mind. However in Sweden, they celebrate Fat Tuesday with a Swedish Semla (Semlor). A Semla is a soft cardamom bun filled with almond paste and whipped cream. The buns (semlor) are dusted with a flurry of powdered sugar for a slightly sweet and fun to eat dessert. So if you're looking to add a little international variety into your pre-Lent celebration, this Swedish Semla is just the dessert to do it.

Also known as semla, this is a traditional Swedish dessert served on Mardi Gras. The bun cake is flavored with cardamom and filled with almond paste and orange-studded whipped cream.

An Easter tradition that you can easily make the whole year-round, Semlor or Swedish Lent Buns are delicious, sweet buns with almond paste filling, and excellent with coffee or tea. Enjoy a semla for your next break!
