🇸🇪 Sweden recipe
Kanelbullar
Sweden loves its cinnamon buns so much that it dedicated an entire national holiday to them — Kanelbullens dag, celebrated every October 4th. Swedish kanelbullar are distinct from their American cousins: the dough is enriched with cardamom, the filling balances cinnamon with butter and sugar, and the buns are topped with pearl sugar rather than frosting. The result is less cloyingly sweet and more aromatic, with a soft, pillowy crumb and a slight crunch on top.
