färgrullar

Färgrullar is a traditional Swedish pastry that originated in the northern regions of Sweden. The name "färgrullar" translates to "badger buns" or "bacon rolls," although the pastry itself does not contain any meat or bacon.

The dough for färgrullar is similar to traditional Swedish cardamom buns, with a soft and fluffy texture. However, färgrullar are typically larger and more dense than cardamom buns. The dough is often flavored with cardamom, but some recipes also include other ingredients such as nutmeg or sugar.

Färgrullar are traditionally baked in a wood-fired oven, giving them a distinctive flavor and texture. The pastries are often served as a snack or light meal, and are particularly popular in the Swedish province of Norrbotten.

One of the unique characteristics of färgrullar is their filling, which is typically a mixture of whipped butter and cardamom-infused syrup. This sweet and savory filling is spread on the inside of the pastry, giving it a distinctive flavor and texture.

Färgrullar are a beloved treat in Swedish cuisine, and can be found in many bakeries and cafes throughout the country. They are often served alongside other traditional Swedish pastries, such as kanelbulle (cinnamon buns) and lussekatter (Saffron buns). While färgrullar may not be as well-known outside of Sweden, they are a delicious and authentic representation of the country's rich baking traditions.
