We take our cinnamon rolls seriously here in Sweden.
We even have a dedicated day for the pastry, The cinnamon bun day, that we celebrate the 4th of October.
About 7 million cinnamon rolls are sold that day. That may not sound that much, but consider that we are only 10 million residents in Sweden.
And we have no idea how many buns are baked in our homes.
I don’t want to say it’s our national dish, but almost. They have been around as long as I can remember. They have been around long before I was born.
The classic Swedish snail-shaped cinnamon roll was introduced in 1920.
It’s a pastry with a history.
And I never bake them.
A shame if you ask me.
