Semlor from the Princess Cookbook
Originating as a simple bread roll, today's semla is a cardamom-spiced bun filled with sweet almond paste and topped with whipped cream. Inspired by classic recipes like those from "The Princess Cookbook," these treats are a cultural staple, enjoyed far beyond their original Lenten ties.
