Somewhere in the past we Icelanders picked up the tradition of the Cream-Puff Day (Bolludagur), aka eating yummy ‘buns’ with cream and jam on the Monday before the start of lent (the Monday before Ash Wednesday). \u00a0I’ve never made any buns myself, but this year I decided to give it a go, using a recipe from the local newspaper. \u00a0As it happened the recipe was low on flour (and not baking powder like I exclaimed on Facebook and G+ that day) so the buns never rose. \u00a0It took a second try to get the right, and boy were they yummy!! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
