I'm Swedish and have eaten many semlor in my days. The semla you made were, in my opinion, a perfect Swedish semla - just the way I want them. Semlor is a very old tradition in Sweden (many hundreds of years). In the old days, they didn't use vipcream and the bread could also be very dry, so instead they put the semla in a deep plate and pour hot milk over it - it was called "hetvägg" (hot wall). It is said that a Swedish king (Adolf Fredrik) in the 18th century ate himself to death on semlor.
You're suppose the remove some of the bread in the center of the Semla to make a bigger cavity for the almond filling. AND it's common to add the discarded bread, from the cavity, to the almond paste mix. It's a thing. 🤤
I'd like to see you make Hetvägg. It's how they used to make them hundreds of years ago. The reason for why many people today serve semla with a wedge-shaped lid is because "hetvägg" comes from the german word for "hot wedge". It's absolutely delicious.
Mitt i augusti, men oj så semmelinspirerad jag blev! Mmmmm .... Wow!

Hetvägg is eating Semla in a bowl of warm milk. Needs to be eaten with a spoon, of course. A cozier and more old fashioned way.
@@izuela7677 But ive been told Sweden dosnt have any traditions or values? You now say we have? Mind blown!
No, hetvägg means hot wall in Swedish.
You do take off the lid before you eat the semla! You may use the lid to scoop up the cream.
