About the dish

Skolebrød are traditional Norwegian custard buns. They're made with a combination of butter, milk, yeast, sugar, flour, and cardamom for flavoring. The custard is made with milk, cream, egg yolks, sugar, cornflour, and vanilla. The cardamom buns are stuffed with custard, then topped with desiccated coconut. These sweet rolls are typical children's treats in Norway, and the name is a reference to the fact that skolebrød was a part of school lunches.
