Mardi Gras -The Swedish Way

Fettisdagen, Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras or whatever you may call it in your part of the world, have different ways to be celebrated. Here in Sweden it means only one thing. Eating of the traditional "Semla". This sweet wheat bun filled with almond paste and a hearty dose of whipped cream, dusted with powdered sugar is heavenly! In the past (before moving abroad) I have baked my own for this occasion, but with everything else going on, I completely forgot that it was already today. As luck might have it, my work had gotten some for us. And I was lucky enough to get two.
