Wienerbrød – Danish pastry
June 13, 2012
This pastry, which is a is called a ” FRØSNAPPER”, is primary eaten at breakfast. The Copenhagen version (east Denmark) is sweet like a cake, containing remonce, the Jutland version (west Denmark) is more like a bread containing cheese. This difference obviously causes big surprises and discussions about which version is the best, when someone gets a “foreign” frøsnapper.

My Daily Denmark 
There is few moments as dissapointing as when you get the wrong type in your mouth.
The few times I eat breakfast with Danish pastry I prefer the sweet Copenhagen type.
Delicious!
I totally agree.
Oh wouldn’t I love to have one of those with my coffee this morning!
🙂 Cake photos can be a bit of a challenge to look at, having a sweet tooth.
They look so delicious and beautiful bread. I like bread with sesame.
Thank you. 🙂 This is a sweet breakfast cake/pastry, with sugar inside.
Oooh, yummy, both of those look sooo delicious. And so beautifully made!
Very yummy but too fat to eat every day.
My favorite is; pie like body with rich filling: cheese cream or custard cream with fruits such as cherry or berry. Body should have aromatic buttery flavor, fruits should have fresh fruity … never be jam. For me, danish pastry is for tea time. Would you like to have a cup of tea?
Perhaps you mean the strawberry tart which I have posted today?
It’s nice to have a look at a genuine Danish pastry!
I´m glad you enjoy the photo. 🙂
I love both of them! One of each with a pot of fresh coffee would be a perfect way to start the day 🙂
Sure, a very good start. But probably not the most healthy. 🙂
Beautiful! I miss all the plentiful bakeries that were available when I traveled in Germany and Paris…
Germany and France sure have nice bread and cakes, different from the Danish. It is always interesting to taste the food eaten in other countries. Thank you for your comment, Lilly Sue.
Being from Copenhagen I can only say there is only one version.. that other thing is not Frøsnappere, that’s something else *laughs
