Danish Fastelavns Buns (custard filled bun)


Being Danish living in the UK, I am actually quite lucky that I get more holidays to celebrate as Denmark and the UK don't have all the same holidays, but I quite often forget. For instance in Denmark we have a day where we eat duck/goose, called Saint Mortens eve and a day where we eat a bun/roll called a Hvede, called big Hvede day.
Where as here in England there is pancake day, St. George day  and Halloween. 
The Danes have however started taking on Halloween, though it wasn't around when I was young. We do have another very old traditional holiday where kids dress up, called Fastelavn, normally celebrated around February. Going back to the origin of this holiday, it was to celebrate the beginning of the fast, that would then end with easter celebrations.

Danish Koldskål (cold yoghurt soup) with Kammerjunker


This is my fiancé’s favourite Danish summer dish, and I’m a bit embarrassed to say that I have never actually made the Kammerjunker myself. But now living in England, it isn’t a thing that you can get in the supermarkets, so I decided to make it myself, and they turned out really good.
