Pancake Day or Fettisdagen?

Today you can either celebrate 'Pancake Day' in the UK, or 'Fettisdagen' (Fat Tuesday) in Sweden. I might be biased because I'm Swedish but I will definitely diss the pancakes for semla! I like pancakes but semlor is so much better! And home made semla is the best. Here is my best recipe.

If you're still not convinced to go for semla, here's some inspiration for all of you pancake lovers. From Underbara Clara's blog.

Happy Fettisdag/Pancake Day!

  1. This is the first time I've ever heard of pancake day - I like it and think it should be implemented in every country! :)

    This is also the first time I've ever heard of Semla, it looks delicious!

  6. We've decided to do semlor today and pancakes tomorrow. Having to rule out one of the two very good traditions seems unfair. So I say do both! :)
