Tebirkes

Tebirkes is a traditional Danish pastry originating from Denmark. It is made with two layers of yeast-leavened laminated dough sandwiching a layer of marzipan filling and topped with poppy seeds. The name "Tebirkes" comes from the Danish words "te" meaning tea and "birkes" meaning poppy seeds. The pastry was introduced to Denmark by Austrian bakers who came to work in Copenhagen in the late 1800s. Over time, Danish bakers adapted the recipe by incorporating marzipan filling and poppy seeds on top. Tebirkes is a popular pastry in Denmark and can be found in most bakeries throughout the country.
