The Sweden effect


First of all, I apologize for all the swedish people in the group. My folding needs a bit more training.

Last week, my wife surprised me with a one week trip to Sweden (Stockholm, Luleå and Uppsala). Absolutely stunning county.

No day went by without having a kanelbulle and I promised my missus that I would them all week long (if requested).

They turned out great. I used the recipe from here.

    Glad you enjoyed your time here! Swedish pastries are great.

    Hey, as long as you don’t bust on them we’re happy.

    Well done, they look great!
    A small tip: I know US recipes always call for unsalted butter, but I would encourage you to add a teaspoon to the dough. It deepens the flavour.

    Since salt inhibits the yeast, I add all the ingredients to the mixer except half of the flour. Add the salt, then the rest of the flour.

    It was kannelbullarsdag (cinnamom bun day) last Saturday, so very timely and they look pretty good!

    I once tried making these without the glaze but they came out dry 🙁

    Yummmmm! I ate a pastry every day I was in Sweden… They were so good, I wanted to try them all. My favorite is Kardemummabullar. I bought a cookbook in Stockholm and made them for Christmas. It was amazing.

    Looks very tasty, just missing some pearl sugar on top for the traditional look, but I think that can be hard to find outside sweden.

    These look amazing! I would eat all of them!

    i’ve loved them since i visited stockholm 6ish years ago. they also had this cardamom cookie/biscuit that i dream of and have yet to find a recipe for!!!

    What is the sugar syrup that is applied after baking? The video showed a quite dark liquid, so i thought it is something other than simple syrup (sugar and water cooked together until the sugar dissolves), is it maybe brown sugar cooked with water?

    It looks delicious. I am a foodie and I would wanna try it out.

    You should try them with cardamom instead of cinnamon next time, they’ll turn out even better 💕💛

    They look great! The recipe is slightly different than normal, to this day I’ve never seen unsalted butter (and I hope that day never comes!), and we use only milk as a liquid in the dough, no water.

    A tip for the future, if you’re feeling adventurous, is to spread almond paste on the rolled out dough before you cut it and do the bun tying. =)

    Welcome back!
