About the dish

Tebirkes is a traditional pastry originating from Denmark. The pastry is usually made with a combination of milk, sugar, salt, flour, yeast, eggs, butter, marzipan, and poppy seeds. The marzipan, sugar, and butter are beaten until smooth. The dough is rolled out and topped with marzipan butter, then folded over and left to double in size. The pastry is brushed with egg wash and topped with poppy seeds before it's baked until golden brown. The crunchy and slightly nutty tebirkes are served warm or at room temperature.
