Swedish Semlor, a soft and perfectly pillowy sweet bun that is filled in the middle with a gooey almond filling, topped with whipped cream, and dusted lightly with powdered sugar.
it is a typical Swedish bun; in Sweden, we call it Semlor ( it is pronounced Sehm-Lohr)
The Swedish buns are most popular in Sweden during January/February, but you can find them at most bakeries in Sweden all year round.
I prefer the homemade version; it starts with a soft and perfectly pillowy sweet bun that has a wonderful soft texture.
The middle of each bun is filled with a gooey almond paste that is made with almond, cream, sugar, and vanilla.
The crushed almonds give a crunchy texture; it is so good!
The almond filling you just want to eat by the spoonful, just saying! on top of the almond filling, you add a large spoonful of luscious whipped cream; for a luxurious twist, add vanilla bean paste.
With Love from Sweden.
I hope you fall in love with this gooey Swedish Semlor!
