Giving this recipe only 4 and not 5 stars due to the fact that authentic 'semlas' have almond paste instead of marizpan in the middle..... Yummy!

These were great! I grew up in Sweden and have not had a semla in over 15 years. My whole family loved them. Thanks so much. I love to share the Swedish customs with my kids and husband.

Excellent recipe. I've never had Semla, so I can't say whether or not these are authentic, but they sure are good! Only one problem- 375 was too hot! My buns started to get too brown on the bottom at around 10 minutes - before they were golden on the outside or cooked all the way through!

Thank you for sharing this recipe. I grew up eating semlor at Easter, and this year tried it myself. My first attempt was a flop - the traditional Swedish cookbook called for four packets of yeast, and gave vague instructions like add "most" of the flour and "work" the dough. I came to All Recipes in desperation, found this, and followed it precisely. The semlor couldn't have come out more perfect. Tack sa mycket!

I added a tad of whole wheat flour to my batch, and they came out beautifully! The only suggestion I would make is to wait to dust the semlor with powdered sugar until RIGHT BEFORE you serve them. I dusted mine, stuck them in the fridge for a few hours, and the sugar disappeared as condensation from being chilled appeared. I should know better, but they just looked so cute!
