SEMLOR (SEMLA)
These Swedish desserts are traditionally served on Fat Tuesday, but nowadays they are happily eaten as often as they can be found. We love that these are not too sweet, and are just big enough.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs with butter and milk. Sprinkle yeast overtop and allow to soften for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, sift together 5 cups flour with 1/2 cup sugar, salt, and ground cardamom. Once yeast has softened, stir flour mixture into milk mixture until a soft dough forms. Cover bowl with a towel, and allow to rise in a warm spot for 30 minutes.
- Sift together flour and baking powder. Stir into risen dough, then knead until smooth. Form into 16 balls (or 24 if you'd like smaller semlor) and place onto greased baking sheets. Cover with a towel, and allow to rise until doubled in bulk, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Bake in preheated oven 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown and the center has firmed. Cool buns on a wire rack to room temperature.
- Once cool, cut a slice about 1/2 inch thick off of the top of the bun and set aside. Scoop or cut out the center of the buns, leaving a shell about 1/2 inch thick. Tear the removed bread into small pieces and place into a bowl. Moisten the bread with milk, then mix in marzipan until smooth. Add additional milk if needed until the marzipan filling is nearly as soft as pudding.
- Whip cream with 2 tablespoons sugar to stiff peaks. Fill each shell with a spoonful of marzipan filling. Pipe whipped cream on top of the filling to 1/2 inch over the top of the bun. Replace the tops onto the buns, and dust with confectioner's sugar before serving.

SUNSHINE SEMLOR
This is recipe for an authentic Swedish semla made by my friend Louise Vernerstrom from Falun, Sweden. Semlor are pastries that were originally exclusively eaten on Fat Tuesday. However, they are so good that that tradition has changed drastically. Many serve it all year round.

Steps:
- Mix flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
- Combine warm milk and melted butter in a bowl. Add yeast and stir until completely dissolved. Mix in eggs and cardamom. Stir in flour mixture until thoroughly combined. Cover with a clean towel and let rise for 1 hour.
- Punch dough down gently and divide into 20 pieces; shape into balls. Arrange balls on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Cover with a towel and let rise for about 45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Bake until golden brown, about 14 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool, about 20 minutes.
- Cut 1/2 inch off the top of each bun to make a 'lid.' Scoop out the core of the bun gently with a fork. Repeat with remaining buns, setting tops aside and placing cores in a large bowl.
- Pour some milk over the cores to moisten. Mix in almond paste until smooth. Continue adding small amounts of milk until filling resembles a thick pudding. Spoon almond paste filling into the center of the buns.
- Combine heavy cream and 2 tablespoons sugar in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Top buns generously with whipped cream and place 'lids' on top. Use a sifter to dust tops with confectioners' sugar.

SWEDISH SEMLOR
A traditional Swedish recipe. You eat semlor on "Fettisdagen", second Tuesday in February, during Lent. It's best described as a cream bun with almond paste. A traditional way to eat this bun is to put the 'semla' in a bowl with warm milk, also known as 'hetvägg' translated it will be 'hot wall'. Or you can just enjoy it with a cup of coffee.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a saucepan, pour in the milk och warm until lukewarm (99 F).
- Crumble the yeast in a bowl and stir in a little of the warm butter/milk until the yeast is completely dissolved.
- Add the rest of the butter/milk, salt, sugar, cardamom and most of the flour (save some for the rest of the baking). Work the dough smooth and shiny. It should let go from the edges of the bowl. Allow the dough to rise under a baking cloth for 40 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over a baking board and place the dough there. Make 1 bun per person by rolling the dough against the baking board in your cupped hand.
- Put the buns on a baking tray with oven paper and allow them to rise for an additional 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 440°F.
- Brush the buns with the beaten egg and bake them for about 10 minutes in the middle of the oven. Let them cool on an oven rack under a baking cloth.
- Cut of a cover on each bun. Take out a part of the crumb and put it in a bowl. Crumble in almond paste, mix and dilute with the milk to a rather soft mixture.
- Distribute the filling in the buns. Whip the cream and put a large dollop in every bun.
- Put the cover on and sift some confectioners' sugar over 'semlorna'.

- In bread machine or stand mixer, place the lukewarm water, yeast and 1/2 tsp of sugar. Allow to rest for a few minutes, until the yeast begins to grow. Mix the milk, melted butter, beaten egg together, then add to the yeast mixture.
- Add the cardamom, flour, 1/3 cup (2.5 oz) of sugar and salt, and turn on machine (dough setting on bread machine or use a dough hook if using a stand mixer.) Mix and knead by hand if you aren’t using a machine.
- Dough will be slightly sticky. Allow cycle to finish on dough setting; with stand mixer, or by hand, when the dough is ready, cover it and let rise on the counter until doubled in size.
- After it’s risen, punch down the dough, and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut pieces of the dough and shape into round balls (about 15 to 18), and place onto a greased cookie sheet (or silicone sheet) about an inch apart. I baked mine with the buns too close together and they touched, so don't put them as close as I did in the photo below.

- Make the dough by melting the butter in a small saucepan. Add the milk and test to make sure the liquid is lukewarm and not too hot to the touch. If it is too hot to touch, let it cool off until it is about 100°F.Sprinkle the yeast over the liquid. Stir to dissolve the yeast. Set aside for 5 minutes to let the yeast proof. The top of the liquid should have a little bit of bubbles and activity but it won’t be as active as if you had used water.
- Pour the liquid, scraping out any solidified butter if your kitchen is cold, into the mixing bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add the egg, cardamom, salt and stir to break up the egg, dissolve the salt and distribute the cardamom. Add the flour and sugar. Stir until most of the flour has been absorbed, then switch to the dough hook attachment. Knead and mix the dough on medium low speed until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Lightly spray a large bowl with cooking oil, then gather the dough into a smooth ball. Place the ball of dough down into the bowl, making sure the “rough” side of the dough is face down in the bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let rest to rise for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the dough has doubled in size.
- Once the dough has risen preheat the oven to 400°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicon baking sheets.Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces (if you have a scale, each piece should be about 85 to 90 g). Roll the dough into rough balls and then place them on the lined baking sheet, 6 buns per baking sheets.Cover dough rounds with plastic wrap and let rise for 45 to 60 minutes. The dough will not have doubled in size but they will be more puffy and larger.
