Swedish cinnamon buns, or "kanelbullar," are a beloved pastry in Sweden, often enjoyed during fika, a traditional coffee break. These soft, buttery buns are filled with a sweet cinnamon sugar mixture and rolled into a classic spiral shape. Topped with pearl sugar or chopped almonds, they're perfect for sharing with family and friends. Don't forget to celebrate Kanelbullens dag (Cinnamon Bun Day) on October 4th by baking a batch of these delightful treats.
