SemLor, and other person already provided link to Wikipedia, but in Swedish plural changes end of the word, and it ends differently in different words. So, many semlas are semlor.
Fake news. Adolf Fredrik died after a big meal including, among other food, lobsters and sauerkraut and a lot of champagne. For dessert he ate a bunch of semlor, not cinnamon buns.
I was gonna say maybe they look like cinnamon buns but nope not even close. Looks like a dinner roll with some custard like filling and the top sprinkled in power sugar
The filling is whipped cream and almond paste. It's traditionally eaten before lent (but nowadays few Protestant Swedes fast, so it's just eaten on Shrove Tuesday and then whenever you feel like it during the month leading up to Easter). Although in Adolf Fredrik's day it was probably done without the fillings and was basically just a wheat bun served in a bowl of warm milk.
Im Swedish and it was another Swedish pastry called Semla and not Cinnamon buns
He had gorged himself all day on lots of different foods like lobsters and caviar and had a stroke after his 14th semla, or atleast that how the story goes. A bard at his court wrote a song about it that started spreading the story that he died from too many semlor
So this is good episode about the Semla, not cinnamon bun that got him sick, well he had been sick that week so it was most likely the last nail in the coffin.
I can't eat cinnamon buns, because once I start I can't stop. One time I woke up in ht middle of the night and went to the store to buy the ingredients to make my own and stayed up for hours making them. Sugar really is addictive as fuck. I'm 6 years sober by the grace of god.
Imagine an apple fritter only better. Now imagine a plain glazed donut only better. Now imagine the better apple fritter and better plain glazed donut fucked all night long while a cinnamon roll watched weeping from the cuck chair. Their perfect baby...... the coffee roll.
I have and I hated it. Bottom too wet. Top too sticky. Outside too crusty and bland. Inside too mushy and bland. Top tastes like burnt tree bark dust because thats exactly what cinnamon is after browning it.
The glaze is good, but it never fully dries and seals and protects it like a donut glaze. It only causes a mess as you attempt to unpeel it.
If you fully peeled that first crusty layer off, skim off the top and bottom, and core out that uncooked middle leaving only the semi-decent part, and offered the glaze warmed as a dipping option, I would still think they are pretty shitty, but take a couple bites to not be completely rude.
I'd rather eat an entire can of room temperature green beans than take one bite of a shittamon roll.
