Fastelavnboller

I’m happy to comply with the Scandinavian custom of eating these buns on the last Sunday before the Lenten season….. or really on any day for that matter.

Liv shared an excellent recipe with me – but it’s in Norwegian and metric and I’ve already had to translate it once in my head – two times in 2 days would be too much for my brain.  So my suggestion if you want to try some – find a good dependable sweet bun recipe.  Add a hint of cardamom and anise.  Make up the recipe and once done, stuff with whipped cream.   You don’t have to wait all year to give them a try.  I think it’s also common to eat these on Tuesday – or Fat Tuesday.
