When you have a coffee break in Sweden, during work or leisure time, chances are high your Swedish colleague or friend will eat a kanelbulle<\/em>, cinnamon bun. Also known as cinnamon roll or cinnamon snail.\u00a0You find the original Swedish recipe for cinnamon buns<\/strong>\u00a0further below.<\/p>\n

Swedish cinnamon buns<\/h2>\n

Cinnamon buns\u00a0are\u00a0the<\/em> classic pastry you will find in any Swedish caf\u00e9 or pastry shop. Even in Swedish supermarkets you can either get fresh or frozen cinnamon buns<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Basically, their main\u00a0ingredients are flour, cinnamon, sugar, and butter and, on top, a pearl sugar icing.<\/p>\n

Cinnamon bun day<\/h3>\n

Swedes really love their kanelbullar<\/em>. So much, they decided to dedicate a whole day to its existence. Now they celebrate cinnamon rolls every\u00a0year on the 4th October<\/strong>, since 1999. You can find shopping window decorations and special offers in caf\u00e9 windows, telling you it’s “kanelbullens dag<\/em>“, cinnamon bun day.<\/p>

They are perfect if you are just a little hungry and yet want to eat something sweet. But try to eat them without leaving some pearl sugar in the corner of your mouth – almost impossible.<\/p>\n
