SEMLOR (SEMLA)

Semlor (Semla) image

These Swedish desserts are traditionally served on Fat Tuesday, but nowadays they are happily eaten as often as they can be found. We love that these are not too sweet, and are just big enough.

Time 1h55m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

2 eggs
⅔ cup butter, melted
1 ½ cups warm milk (70 to 80 degrees F)
1 (.25 ounce) envelope active dry yeast
5 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
½ cup milk, or as needed
5 ounces marzipan
2 cups whipping cream
2 tablespoons white sugar
confectioners' sugar for dusting

Steps:

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs with butter and milk. Sprinkle yeast overtop and allow to soften for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, sift together 5 cups flour with 1/2 cup sugar, salt, and ground cardamom. Once yeast has softened, stir flour mixture into milk mixture until a soft dough forms. Cover bowl with a towel, and allow to rise in a warm spot for 30 minutes.
Sift together flour and baking powder. Stir into risen dough, then knead until smooth. Form into 16 balls (or 24 if you'd like smaller semlor) and place onto greased baking sheets. Cover with a towel, and allow to rise until doubled in bulk, 35 to 40 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Bake in preheated oven 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown and the center has firmed. Cool buns on a wire rack to room temperature.
Once cool, cut a slice about 1/2 inch thick off of the top of the bun and set aside. Scoop or cut out the center of the buns, leaving a shell about 1/2 inch thick. Tear the removed bread into small pieces and place into a bowl. Moisten the bread with milk, then mix in marzipan until smooth. Add additional milk if needed until the marzipan filling is nearly as soft as pudding.
Whip cream with 2 tablespoons sugar to stiff peaks. Fill each shell with a spoonful of marzipan filling. Pipe whipped cream on top of the filling to 1/2 inch over the top of the bun. Replace the tops onto the buns, and dust with confectioner's sugar before serving.

SWEDISH SEMLOR

Swedish Semlor image

A traditional Swedish recipe. You eat semlor on "Fettisdagen", second Tuesday in February, during Lent. It's best described as a cream bun with almond paste. A traditional way to eat this bun is to put the 'semla' in a bowl with warm milk, also known as 'hetvägg' translated it will be 'hot wall'. Or you can just enjoy it with a cup of coffee.

Categories Breads

Time 2h20m

Yield 16-20 semlor

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

75 g butter
1 cup milk
25 g yeast
1 pinch salt
10 teaspoons sugar
3 cups wheat flour
1 teaspoon cardamom, ground (optional)
1/2 cup egg, beaten
300 g almond paste
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cups double cream
confectioners' sugar

Steps:

Melt the butter in a saucepan, pour in the milk och warm until lukewarm (99 F).
Crumble the yeast in a bowl and stir in a little of the warm butter/milk until the yeast is completely dissolved.
Add the rest of the butter/milk, salt, sugar, cardamom and most of the flour (save some for the rest of the baking). Work the dough smooth and shiny. It should let go from the edges of the bowl. Allow the dough to rise under a baking cloth for 40 minutes.
Sprinkle flour over a baking board and place the dough there. Make 1 bun per person by rolling the dough against the baking board in your cupped hand.
Put the buns on a baking tray with oven paper and allow them to rise for an additional 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 440°F.
Brush the buns with the beaten egg and bake them for about 10 minutes in the middle of the oven. Let them cool on an oven rack under a baking cloth.
Cut of a cover on each bun. Take out a part of the crumb and put it in a bowl. Crumble in almond paste, mix and dilute with the milk to a rather soft mixture.
Distribute the filling in the buns. Whip the cream and put a large dollop in every bun.
Put the cover on and sift some confectioners' sugar over 'semlorna'.
