    It's probably kardemumma (cardemom), not ginger. 😁😋❤️ (and with milk, it's called "hetvägg")

    The Semla is about 400 years old, so pretty old i would say.

    Try stiring lingonberries into whipped cream, that is; whip the cream first and then stir in the berries.
    It is very tasty on waffles.

    Re: lingonberries in desserts: lingonkvarg; there's also a russian dessert where the usual berry is cranberries but lingons are quite suitable: diced apples, frozen lingonberries, and a hot caramel sauce. (Also, lingonberry goes real well in cheesecakes more generally, or in cakes with a slightly ~fudgey topping - I spread lingonberry jam on basic cake batter, then stir together oat flakes, sugar and melted butter and cover the cake in that - while baking it, the sugar and butter forms a slightly fudgey cover.
    As for ginger in the bun: of course the bakery might have added ginger, but cardamom is closely related to ginger and has some flavour compounds in common. Maybe your friend reacted to those similarities and is just unfamiliar with cardamom? OTOH, ginger is not a bad addition to Swedish bullar - I've started making örfilar (finlandswedish kanelsnäckor) with candied ginger butter in them instead of cinnamon-butter.

    I like that you did it "the right way" with hot milk even though I personaly havn't eaten Semla like that since I was a kid.... (Long time ago)
    Then I just have to say I love the colors and patterns of Boa's dress. So fresh and it really "pops" without taking over. Is that something traditional Korean, modern but inspired by tradition or something else?
    Don't know why this video popped up in my feed but I watched (can't resist Semla, Fika & Korea in same title I guess) and it was cozy and entertaining. =)

    Lingonsylt is eaten with, and good with, pancakes and waffles, and also used in "angelfood", old dessert classic, whipped cream with crumbled cookies and lingonberry jam.
    Lingonberry pears is another classic dessert.

    She is eating a "Hetvägg". I will stick my neck out and say that maybe 2-3% of all glorious Semla that is sold in Sweden is eaten that way. Also true Semla-Connoisseur will always (If you are Swedish) refer to a Semla as a "Temla" due to the #1 Semla fan (tho fictional) Ture Sventon who ordered Semla by the dozen via his extremely competent and marvelous secretary Fröken Jansson.

    • @Vinterfrid
      @Vinterfrid Před 3 lety

      Not quite accurate - eating with or without milk is often connected to which region you (or your ancestors) are from; in the Northern parts of Sweden I am pretty sure most eat it with hot milk (often sprinkled with cinnamon). Furthermore, most people do not refer to it as a "temla" - regardless of having read the Ture Sventon books or not.

    • @mxgant
      @mxgant Před 3 lety

      @@Vinterfrid You seem like a joyful person to have at parties! While you might be correct (albeit doubtful) about the Northern parts and their temla-eating habits, noone I know at my now advanced age eat it with warm milk and cinnamon. Moreover, refering to it as a Temla would be more akin to show your vast cultural knowledge of the world of comics and the importance of flying carpets, then to actually starting to point fingers at what the glorious Temla is actually called in the "vulgari eloquentia".

    • @MsAnpassad
      @MsAnpassad Před 3 lety +3

      @@Vinterfrid Actually, you are the one that are incorrect. Hetvägg is just the more original way of eating the pastry (Cajsa Warg has a recipe), where you boiled the bun stuffed with cream, almonds etc in a milk cream mixture.
      The whipped cream doesn't appear until later.
      Whether or not you eat your semla with milk or not, is not regional, it has more to do with your personal preference and/or if the bun is dence/dry or not.
      And, it's called temla.
