Traditional Shrove Tuesday Semla

[ We've ate semlas on every Shrove Tuesday as long as i can remember. ]
















For the first time in my life i decided to supplement the tradition - by making the semlas for my family by myself.


Instead of traditional simple ones i added some good stuff in the dough - candied orange and dried cranberries (extra to the cardamom that is already in the original recipe). I also decided to add some cottage cheese there, and of course - i tripled the amount of sugar :)

So i baked 26 buns and fed all my loved-ones, family and friends, men at work and neighbours.
