Sunshine Semlor
This is recipe for an authentic Swedish semla made by my friend Louise Vernerstrom from Falun, Sweden. Semlor are pastries that were originally exclusively eaten on Fat Tuesday. However, they are so good that that tradition has changed drastically. Many serve it all year round.

Cook's Notes:
Use cream to moisten the bread center for a richer almond paste filling.
If almond paste is not available in your area, marzipan works just as well although a little sweeter with less almond taste.
