Snöar

Snöar, also known as snöre or snörebröd, is a traditional Swedish pastry that has been a staple in Swedish cuisine for centuries. The name "snöar" translates to "snow" in English, reflecting the pastry's light and fluffy texture, reminiscent of snow. The pastry is typically made from a simple dough consisting of flour, water, and sometimes a small amount of salt. The dough is rolled out thinly and then cut into strips, which are twisted together to form the characteristic snöar shape. The pastry is then baked until golden brown and served warm, often with butter or jam.

It is commonly served with butter and jam, but it can also be filled with cream, chocolate, or other sweet spreads. The pastry's light texture and mild flavor make it a popular choice for both breakfast and dessert. Snöar is often associated with Swedish Christmas markets and is a popular treat during the holiday season.

The origins of snöar are not well-documented, but it is believed to have been a traditional pastry in Sweden for many centuries. The pastry's simple ingredients and straightforward preparation make it an accessible and affordable treat for many Swedes. Today, snöar remains a beloved pastry in Swedish cuisine, enjoyed by people of all ages.
