Apart from the people, (and how flat it is, so you can easily bike anywhere) the thing I miss about Copenhagen most frequently, is how you can walk into a 7-11 and get rather decent pastry. Sure, it’s probably better at the local bakery or bakeshop, but the 7-11 is almost everywhere and open when the other places aren’t.
In Norway… well, the pastry is okay at 7-11 here as well. But true to Norwegian traditions, it is mostly buns and cinnamon buns, and more doughy buns. (It has branched out to cookies, it should be said.) But it isn’t that flaky, Danish pastry that is so delicious and leaves crumbs everywhere.
Another thing that is missing is the raspberry slice.
Americans will probably say that it looks like a home made pop tart. Which it kind of does, except the pop tarts I’ve had have been closed at the edges. This isn’t that.
I went back and forth on which recipe I should try. And I decided to adapt a grandmother recipe. Not my grandmother’s recipe, as she isn’t Danish. But the one posted by Lone Landmand here.
