Semla, also known as Fettisdagsbulle, is a traditional Swedish pastry enjoyed during the Lenten season. These delicious sweet buns are filled with almond paste and whipped cream, making them a favorite treat for many. Here’s how you can make these delightful Swedish buns at home.

Ingredients:

  • For the Buns:
    • 4 cups all-purpose flour (20 oz)
    • 2 teaspoons dry yeast
    • 1/3 cup + 1/2 teaspoon sugar, divided
    • 1/2 cup warm milk
    • 1/3 cup melted butter
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 egg, slightly beaten
    • 1 teaspoon cardamom
    • 1/2 cup lukewarm water
  • For the Glaze:
    • 1 egg yolk
    • 1 tablespoon cream
  • For the Almond Paste:
    • 1 egg white
    • 1/2 cup ground almonds
    • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • To Assemble:
    • Whipping cream
    • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions:

  1. Make the Buns:
    • In a bowl, combine lukewarm water, yeast, and 1/2 teaspoon of sugar. Let it rest until the yeast begins to grow.
    • Mix the warm milk, melted butter, and beaten egg together, then add to the yeast mixture.
    • Add the cardamom, flour, 1/3 cup of sugar, and salt. Mix and knead the dough until it becomes slightly sticky.
    • Cover the dough and let it rise until it doubles in size.
  2. Shape and Bake the Buns:
    • Divide the dough into equal pieces and shape them into balls. Place them on a baking tray and let them rise until doubled in size.
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush the buns with an egg yolk and cream mixture.
    • Bake the buns for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Let them cool on a wire rack.
  3. Prepare the Almond Paste:
    • Whip the egg white until soft peaks form, then fold in the ground almonds and powdered sugar. Set aside.
  4. Assemble the Semlor:
    • When the buns are completely cool, slice off the tops and scoop out a bit of the inside to make space for the filling.
    • Fill the buns with almond paste, followed by whipped cream.
    • Place the tops back on and dust with powdered sugar.

Semlor are a delightful treat perfect for enjoying with a cup of coffee. They combine the rich flavors of almond and cardamom with the lightness of whipped cream, making them a beloved Swedish dessert.
