Origin of a Classic: Semlor – These buns have been known by many names, including fettisdagsbulle (Fat Tuesday bun), hetvägg (hot bun in a bowl of warm milk), and semla (which is the singular of “semlor”), the latter being the most common name today. It’s no surprise that, like its name, the way semlor are made and enjoyed has also evolved.
Glazed Lemon Loaf – The Gold Standard is our benchmark version of a classic. The inside of this divine cake is sweet and tender, fragrant with the scent of lemon throughout, while the outside is swathed in a simple lemon glaze and distinctly tart.

Swedish Pancakes with Strawberry Cream – Our 2024 Contributing Editor Britney Brown-Chamberlain created a delectable and elegant treat that combines the sweetness of fresh, ripe strawberries and the velvety luxury of a luscious cream filling. Each pancake is tender and soft with slightly crispy edges, enveloping a generous serving of sweet strawberry cream. The pancakes are topped with strawberries, creating a harmonious blend of textures and a refreshing, fruity burst in every bite.
Hazelnut Chocolate Torte – Chocolate and hazelnuts combine into this delicious torte. Similar to a truffle, each bite is a melt-in-your-mouth masterpiece. Plus more hazelnut-chocolate delights that will be on your winter baking list!
