rulltorull

rulltorull is a term of Swedish origin that describes a type of rolled pastry. It is typically made from a thin dough that is spread with a sweet filling, often consisting of cinnamon, sugar, and butter, before being rolled up and baked. The name itself is a portmanteau, with "rull" meaning "roll" and "tull" potentially referring to a decorative edge or a small bundle.

These pastries are a popular treat in Sweden, often found in bakeries and cafes. They are enjoyed as a fika, the Swedish tradition of taking a coffee break, and can also be made at home. The texture of a rulltorull is generally soft and slightly chewy, with a sweet and aromatic filling. While cinnamon is a common flavoring, variations can include cardamom or other spices. The preparation involves carefully rolling the dough to ensure an even distribution of the filling and a pleasing spiral appearance when sliced. Its simple yet satisfying nature has contributed to its enduring popularity in Swedish confectionery.
