About
What the world calls ‘Danish pastry’, Danes call Wienerbrød — laminated butter-enriched dough folded into dozens of flaky layers, filled with custard, remonce (brown sugar-butter paste), marzipan, cinnamon, or fruit. The classic spandauer (custard pinwheel), kanelsnegl (cinnamon swirl), and tebirkes (poppy seed roll) are Danish bakery staples. A fresh Wienerbrød from a Copenhagen bageri (bakery) at 7am is one of Europe’s great breakfast experiences.
