If you’re looking for a hearty dinner recipe, we love to make these meatballs in curry sauce, or “boller i karry!” This dish has been popular in Denmark for many years, and it’s a great recipe to have on hand as it starts to get colder! Best of all, it’s super customizable so you can add whatever you like to the sauce!

This is us in Epidaurus in Greece 🇬🇷 just last week! We had two amazing weeks of vacation, with plenty of sightseeing 🏔️ sun ☀️ and sea 🌊

We actually lived in Athens, Greece for three years as kids and this was our first family trip back since we moved to the US in 2006 😊 We got to see old family friends, eat lots of bougatsa and moussaka (our favorites), and wore so much sunscreen that we must be protected for life at this point 😂

Anyway, all this to say that now it’s time to get back to work! There’s lots of autumnal and cozy content coming your way, and possibly even a few Halloween recipes this year 👀 Thanks for following along 💞

It’s still cold and raining here in Boston (a classic New England spring 🌧️) so why not warm up with a hearty soup recipe: our chicken and asparagus soup! The inspo behind this soup was the filling for the classic Danish dish, tarteletter (pictured in the second photo!) It’s the perfect comfort food for those days when you wish it would finally be warm 😅

Our lagkage (Danish birthday layer cake) recipe got a facelift, in the form of new photos 🙌 we posted this recipe about two and a half years ago, and it’s based on a handwritten recipe that our great grandmother (oldemor) wrote for our mom 🥹 almost every birthday we can remember has been celebrated with this cake: layers of vanilla sponge and our fave combination of vanilla pastry cream and raspberry jam! But you can use whatever fruit you want for the filling, and you could also use chocolate pastry cream instead!

Five Things We Have Been Loving This Week - Skandibaking We decided to round up some of the things we have been loving each week - from actual physical products to recipes, new habits, and more!

On one of our recent posts we found out we have a few chocolate lovers out there 👀🍫 and these brownies with one of our favorite Scandinavian candies, Daim, will fulfill all of your chocolate dreams!! Daim is a candy that consists of a crunchy almond caramel covered in chocolate - usually found at IKEAs across the US! Added to brownies, it gives the perfect textural crunch 😍

full recipe on the website here: https://skandibaking.com/brownies-with-daim/

happy Friday!! Coming at you all with an important question: chocolate dipped or not?? 🍫 We love these cookies either way - these are buttery, oat shortbread cookies - havrekiks! They pair perfectly with a cup of coffee or tea ☕️

full recipe here: https://skandibaking.com/havrekiks-oat-shortbread-cookies/

This was the first recipe we posted on our website, and it’s the one we keep coming back to - our Danish cinnamon rolls recipe, aka Kanelsnegle! This directly means cinnamon snails (petition to call cinnamon buns snails from now on pls) and they are made with a soft dough that gives the most amazing texture to these rolls! 😋 Combined with the buttery cinnamon sugar filling and a sweet icing, they’re the perfect pastry 🤩

Full recipe on the website here: https://skandibaking.com/kanelsnegle-danish-cinnamon-buns/

We’re starting to bake/cook with spring veggies, and one of those is asparagus! This is one of our favorite quiche fillings: asparagus, onion, spinach, ham, and of course cheese! And it doesn’t hurt to have a deliciously buttery crust to hold the filling 😋

Full recipe on the website here: https://skandibaking.com/ham-and-asparagus-quiche-madtaerte-med-skinke-og-asparges/

It’s no secret we love marzipan - and this classic Danish cake is one of our favorites! 🇩🇰 It’s called “mazarinkage” and while it’s actually named after an Italian cardinal (why this is the case, we don’t know 😂), its main distinguishing factor is the addition of marzipan to the batter! 🍰 It gives it the most tender texture - top the cake off with some chocolate, and it’s the perfect combo!
