Upptrappningar

Upptrappningar is a Swedish term that refers to a type of layered pastry product. It is a traditional bakery item in Scandinavian countries, including Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. The name "upptrappningar" is derived from the Swedish words "upp" meaning "up" and "trappningar" meaning "layered", which refers to the layered structure of the pastry.

Upptrappningar is made by layering dough and filling ingredients, such as cream, fruit, or chocolate. The dough is typically made with a combination of flour, sugar, and butter, and is rolled out to a thin sheet before being layered with the filling ingredients. The layers are then folded and rolled multiple times to create a flaky, layered texture. The resulting pastry is often shaped into a spiral or coil shape and is typically baked until golden brown.
