Kavring is a traditional Swedish and Finnish bakery item typically enjoyed with coffee or tea. It is made with butter, sugar, flour, baking powder, milk, and cardamom seeds, giving it its sweet, spiced flavor. The bread is first baked, then sliced and baked again to achieve its signature hard and crispy texture. The bread is a popular snack in the region and can be enjoyed on its own or with a variety of toppings such as cheese, ham or other spreads.
