Semla

Tomorrow marks the start of Lent, which means today is Mardi Gras or Shrove Tuesday. There are many traditions around the world to celebrate this feast, and in Sweden we eat “semla”. It’s a sweet yeast cardamom bun with filled with almond paste and lots of whipped cream powdered with icing sugar. It’s just as delicious as it sounds.
