Day 301: 'tits the season

Today was Women's Day. We also made 'semlor'. They are suspiciously breasty, but apparently have little to do with Women's Day and everything to do with Lent. Either way, I was told to make and eat them because, 'It's the last day of Semlor Season' & 'they are very Swedish.' **

So we did.
"A-semlor line"

And so can you. In 9 easy steps:

1. Make Buns.

2. Cut a little hat off of bun, put off to the side (The buns are now a metaphorical head).

3. Eat a little hole in bun-head.

4. Put marzipan (in our case: Nutella + Banana) in bun-head-hole. 

5. Plop whipped cream on marzipan/Nutella/banana.

6. Re-hat the filled bun-head.

7. Shake a little powdered sugar on top. 

8. Eat, which their architecture complicates...gets messy folks. 

9. Watch Semlor videos.

 (in addition to videos below, there are many Blair Witch-ish, 'look how messy my face gets when I eat Semlor' videos. Should you wish for more. 






**Swedish readers, feel free to correct me for I was too lazy to do any real research, even for this fløde-filled tradition.
