In Sweden we have a bun we eat during the winter season. We call it “semla”. It’s a wheat bun filled with whipped cream and almond paste. I love it!

It’s a sweet wheat bun that you split in two – a smaller lid and a bigger bottom part. Remove a little bit of the middle part of the bottom bun (hard to explain). Fill the “hole” with almond paste. If I ever decide to make this bun I will buy the paste but it’s essentially almonds crumbs and sugar mixed together.

Whip the cream and put it on top of the paste. Place the lid on the cream. Sprinkle icing sugar in the lid.

Semla!
