munnhols

Munnhols, also known as "munn-hols" or "munn-holses," are a type of traditional Danish pastry. They are small, round, and sweet, typically made from a dough consisting of flour, butter, sugar, and eggs. The dough is rolled out thinly and cut into circles, which are then baked until golden brown. Munnhols are often dusted with powdered sugar or icing sugar before serving, giving them a delicate, sweet flavor and a crispy exterior.

The name "munnhols" translates to "mouth holes" in English, reflecting their small size and the idea that they are meant to be eaten quickly, often as a snack or a treat. They are a popular pastry in Denmark and are often enjoyed with a cup of coffee or tea. Munnhols are also a common ingredient in Danish pastries and desserts, such as the traditional "koldskål," a layered pastry filled with whipped cream and fruit.

Munnhols have a long history in Danish cuisine, with their origins dating back to the 19th century. They were originally made by bakers in small, family-owned bakeries, and were a staple in Danish households. Today, munnhols are still a popular pastry in Denmark, and can be found in bakeries and supermarkets across the country. They are also a popular export, with munnhols being enjoyed by Danes living abroad and by visitors to Denmark.
