Klenät | Traditional Sweet Pastry From Sweden, Northern Europe | TasteAtlas

Klenät

(Klena, Klejne, Kleina, Kleyna, Fattigmann, Fattigmans bakkels)

The rhomb-shaped, crispy klenät is a popular deep-fried pastry enjoyed in many Nordic countries. Made with the buttery yeasted dough, often enriched with various liqueurs, it is primarily rolled, shaped into a knotted trapezoid, and then fried until it turns into a light, crunchy, golden treat.


Traditionally enjoyed during Christmastime, it is best served freshly prepared and lightly sprinkled with cinnamon and powdered sugar.
