Winter

Winter is here. Tonight the temperature came down to -20 degrees Celsius. Not as cold as in the north of Sweden (close to -42) or other parts of Europe, but still cold.

This time of the year

Now it's time for "semlor" again (that is, the Swedish Lenten buns). Yesterday I made a batch of 14 and the idea is to eat one every Tuesday for the coming weeks until Feb 21st, which is the official "semmel-day" this year. But 14 are more than enough so there will be a couple of buns in between as well (and maybe even a second batch later on)...

The Lenten buns are made out of a sweet bun with almond filling and whipped cream under the lid and, of course, powder sugar topping it off.
