A semla (semlor is the plural form) is a Swedish cardamom bun filled with marzipan and sweetened cream. These are traditionally served on Fat Tuesday, but nowadays these delicious pastries are happily eaten as often as they can be found. We love that these are not too sweet and are just big enough.
