I moved to Sweden recently and one of my friends is showing me all the best treats. Semlor my goodness I don't even like almonds but these things are amazing. I found out just a couple days ago eating them in a bowl of varm mjölk is a thing too? They're already so messy to eat but that sounds too good to not try
It's called hetvägg when you eat it with milk I believe. Never tried it myself (am Swedish), but I know some people like that. Semlor on their own are great though, glad you're enjoying them!
Just don't eat 14 or more of them at once
Try and stop me.
That depends. Is OP royalty?
Looks like fastelavnsboller to me, at least that's what it's called in Danish
Similar in purpose, but the Swedish ones have lots of flødeskum and marcipan
The swedish one has almond creme filling.
Its not often i see this type of fastalavnsbolle, i mostly see the closed type. is it marmelade or the yellow cake creme that is used in the whipped creame type?
Yeah same, typically the closed (old school/gammeldags) type. I thought the cream was flavored flødeskum, but I have no idea
Vastlakuklid here in Estonia. Over here it's either just whipped cream inside (boring) or more commonly whipped cream and jam (usually lingonberry) or sometimes they may have marzipan too
They're a little different, but it's a very similar concept.
You're liable to get a fine for eating them too early - 
translation:
Too early Semla lead to fines
Christmas is over, reasoned a couple of bakers in Malmö and consequently started making Semla, but they shouldn't have done that. When the police saw the buns in the windows, they reported the manufacturers, who are facing fines.
a fine for eating
Eating or selling?
This particular article was referring to a fine for selling the pastries at an appropriate date, but any strict traditionalist would agree that eating should carry similar consequences.
I went to Stockholm several years back in the summer and went to a place asking for these and they laughed in our faces. Then they called their co-workers from the back and told them to come out here and see the people asking for semla. Then they all collectively laughed and explained that it's seasonal.
Don't feel too bad. They kinda suck. We have them in Denmark too. We have two types of Fastelavnsboller and I prefer these:
They have custard inside. Sometimes a bit of chocolate too. The ones with whipped cream is nothing but a whipped cream burger with a bit of depressing jam inside. They suck. In my humble opinion. I'm sure they have the good fastelavnsboller in Sweden too. But yeah. Still a seasonal thing.
Oh, my sweet Lord.
Yes, I'll take 2 dozen. Don't judge me.
Reminds me of Paris Brest.
Aah, the King killer diet!
According to legend King Adolf Fredrik of Sweden died after eating 14 semlor during a feast.
Well, that's a helluva way to go!
Semlor? 😋
Fastlagsbullar
Heja Sverige! Och tack för laskiaispullat!
What is it?
It's a semla. Something of a dry fluffy bread with whipped cream and a filling made on almonds.
We do not speak of the other ones. The false ones. The lies.
