So.... I thought about making Paczki (Polish jam filled doughnuts) but have decided we will make Kanelboller instead. What is it you ask? Norwegian cinnamon buns with a twist -literally. These Scandinavian treats are made with cardamon in the dough as well as cinnamon in the filling, they are a nice alternative to the sweetness of traditional cinnamon buns.
I found this description on a fabulous blog www.thanksforthefood.com (a Norwegian food blog). She really knows what she's talking about. Norwegian kanelboller are a staple in every bakery and cafe in Norway. They are essentially a sweetened, cardamon scented dough, leavened with yeast and baked with a cinnamon sugar filling. Boller come in several varieties, including ones with raisins, chocolate or cinnamon and sugar baked in, as well as plain varieties. They are common and beloved – and for good reason. Boller are usually served along side the seriously strong coffee served in Norway and eaten for a snack or during Sunday afternoons. While this recipe can be made my hand, using a standing mixer will make your life much (much) easier. All ingredients must be room temperature, including the butter and eggs.

Let's move a little north and very east for our next international delight, Sweden and a Swedish Pastry. This dessert is a combination of a shortbread crust, a choux (puff) pastry and a creamy frosting. When making the puff pastry, make sure you boil the flour with the water and butter until it forms a thick paste. Remove from the heat and then add the eggs one at a time ensuring they are completely incorporated. Images are below if you are not sure.
Last October I attended the BC Culinary Chefs Association conference in Kelowna where I learned the easiest Mousse ever! Now its your turn to make it. Sophia and Rochelle in catering, are testing the recipe for you and we've made a video so you better understand the technique. Delicious and quick to make, share with your family and friends.
The first recipe for our Holiday baking exchange is the Best Butter tart recipe. Canada doesn't have many unique foods, however butter tarts are a true Canadian gem. Enjoy!
In my search for stuffed cakes, pancakes, dumplings and all those fun foods, I have stumbled upon Atayef from Simply Lebanese. These delicious little treats sound divine, you will be making the recipe as a unit, one set of partners making filling, one making the batter - both making the pancakes same day. Enjoy!
