Swedish Cardamom Buns (Kardemummabullar)
Soft, cardamom-scented yeast buns twisted into loose knots and topped with pearl sugar. The Swedish answer to the cinnamon roll, and the standard companion to coffee at fika.
Swedish Cardamom Buns (Kardemummabullar)
What the name means
A dinner archive, in two Danish words
“Middag” is dinner. “Arkivet” is the archive. The name is the same in Danish, Swedish and Norwegian, which helps, because the food in here comes from all three.
You will find two kinds of recipe. The Nordic dishes you have heard of, under the name you know: Swedish Meatballs (Köttbullar), Danish Rye Bread (Rugbrød). And the food Nordic families actually cook on a Tuesday, which is lasagne and chicken curry as often as anything with dill in it.
All of it in cups, ounces and Fahrenheit, written for an American kitchen, with a substitute named wherever a Nordic ingredient is hard to find.
