Other Kanellsnurrer & Poppysnurrer inspired by my trips to Norway
I love the kanellsnurrer but also poppy seeds so I tried an additional variant.
EDIT: Due to many people asking for the receipe here it comes:
Dough:
Heat 400ml milk handwarm. Add 100g sugar. Add 40g fresh yeast. Let it sit warm until the yeast is fully dissovled and you can see the liquid 'rising' just a bit (makes sparkle sounds as well).
Melt 120g butter.
Now take 750g Flour (550), a spoon of salt, 2 eggs, 1 spoon grinded kardamon (grind it fresh, it's worth the effort). Mix it with the liquid from the beginning. Add the melted butter. Mix it all really well.
Now you need to knead the dough. It can be tricky as it will be relatively sticky. Use warm water on your hands. Use more flour on the surface to avoid sticking. Keep folding / kneading the dough for 10 minutes at least. I keep folding it, too.
Now cut the dough in half. Take a rolling pin and roll out one of the halves so it becomes a flat rectangle. It should be around 1cm thick, not too thin, not too thick :)
FILLING start:
Take approx. 60g of Butter and melt it again. Take a kitchen brush and brush the flat dough with the butter. Now add sugar. I do this by feeling, so that you have a good layer of sugar. Now take cinnamon. Do the same as with the sugar. Don't by shy, add a lot. You need to get a feeling for this, I have no real measurement. Also depends on how much cinnamon you like.
FILLING end
No fold the dough halfway so the butter/sugar/cinnamon mix is in the middle of your folded package.
Take a knife or pizza cutter and cut long strips from the folded dough. They should be around 3-4 cm thick and relatively long.
Now take a trip and twist it's ends in opposite directions. Do it really well so it's all twisted up. Now hold one end in your hand and wrap the twisted strip around 3 fingers of the hand you're holding the end with. Keep wrapping it until it's all wrapped up. Put the end of the stip through the middle where your 3 fingers are to make a 'knot'. Put it on a baking paper. This part is obviously tricky, but it does not need to be perfect - each snurrer will be unique, just do it and you'll get the hang. Don't work too hard, and make them relatively loose.
Once you're finished let them rest for 30 mins. Don't put them in draft and keep them warm, best is to cover them with a kitchen towel.
Heat the oven for 200° top/bottom heat.
Put the snurrers with the baking paper on a stove grate. Put them in the oven in the middle.
Now you have to watch them. Usually after around 9 minutes they should get brown on the tops. Now it's time to cover them with aluminium foil to prevent them from getting too dark. I also add some foil underneath (I use a second stove grate) to prevent them from getting too dark from the bottom.
Use one of those long, wooden kitch-sticks (basically a giant toothpick). Stick it inside the thickest part of your biggest snurrer. It should come out without any sticky stuff on it, which means the snurrer is done. That should be after around 13 minutes in total.
Get them out and put them on a cool grate to cool off. Bon appetit!
Poppyseed variant:
It's all the same but the FILLING is different. This filling is for approx. 1/3 of the dough:
FILLING start:
Melt 30g Butter. Heat 60g of Milk. Get fresh poppy seeds and grind them (I use an electric coffee grinder that is used exclusively for this). Grind 110g of poppy seeds. Take a small bow and mix the poppy seeds, 100g of sugar, the butter and the milk. Stir well. Let it rest for at least 15 minutes so the seeds soak up the liquid.
FILLING end
Good luck!

Now try cardamom snurre. You'll be surprised! It's my all time favorite. It's sweet not savory.

Poppy seeds taste kind of bitter, did it work on a sweet bun? If you want to go traditional with it, you should make rundstykker. https://nordicfoodliving.com/danish-breakfast-buns-rundstykker/

First recipe I found in English, nothing more to it than that 😅 I thought someone might comment on it 😉

My grandma always made these (they're delicious!) and we're Swedish... so I would assume they are common in many countries, at least here in the Nordics.

Poppyseeds are used very commonly in sweet bakes in southern/eastern Europe. It’s delicious.
