Semmeldagen

Semla is a popular dessert in the Nordic and Baltic countries. In Sweden it so popular that it has it's own national holiday that fell on the 28 of February this year. However, the craze for this pastry doesn't just happen on the day. The craving for it normally starts after Christmas (and according to my host father starts earlier each year). There is also an unspoken competition to see who can come up wth the most unique way of preparing it each year. I preferred to eat the semla wrap pictured below because it was less sweet and had more flavor I thought. The traditional one is pictured below on the bag. To eat it you normally warm milk then put the Semla in a bowl and pour the warm milk on it. I thought the tradition Semla was good but too sweet for my taste. P.S. Credits to my host father taking the picture of me below (yes I know I look high)
