These Norwegian sun buns, so named for their sunny yellow custard centers, wrap the greatest hits of Scandinavian baking into one treat: They’re swirled with cinnamon, like kanelbolle (cinnamon rolls); they’re topped with a sweet vanilla custard, like skolebrød (school buns); and, of course, they’re scented with cardamom, a beloved spice across the region. Recipe contributor Trine Hahnemann, author of Scandinavian Baking, recommends serving them warm alongside coffee and tea for the ultimate "hygge" (cozy) weekend get together. Don’t worry if some look more beautiful than others: Imperfection only contributes to their homestyle feel.
