yesterday was "fettisdagen" here is sweden and it´s a tradition to eat one SEMLA or lots of SEMLOR that day. the supermarkets and bakeshops here have been selling semlor for lots and lots of weeks though, so i got used to looking at them every day and i lost track of time and didn´t bake my own on fettisdagen. it would have been sad for henrik and me to miss out on semlor this year, so i decided to bake a couple today - better late than never.
i ate one right after i was done baking and i must say they turned out great. the rest are waiting in the fridge and will be for dessert tonight.
for those of you who have never had a semla :
a semla is a fluffy doughball,not too sweet,with a hint of cardamom. it is filled with marzipan and whipped cream. the top is dusted with powdered sugar.
next year i will make sure to bake them on the right day and i will post a recipe in time for you to make your own,too. if you can´t wait and want the recipe now just email me :)
I made some WeightWatcher-semlor today but I haven't tried them yet. We are going to do that while watching the olympics tonight. They are not going to be filled with mandelmassa and wipped cream but kesella vanilla, blueberries and raspberries.
ReplyDeletesounds like a yummy light alternative! i haven´t been eating the way i should these past couple of days but i will get back to it soon....i hope... :)
ReplyDeleteIt was not bad at all, but it was not as good as a semla. Instead of eating a semla I can eat 3 WeightWatcher-semlor for the same amout of (WW) points.
ReplyDeleteMeh? What happened to my comment? @:(
ReplyDeleteI suggested trying "hetvägg".
1) Put a semla in a bowl.
2) Pour in some warm milk (a couple of centimetres is enough).
3) Sprinkle over some cinnamon.
4) Eat with a spoon.
