Klejner

Klejner is a traditional Danish pastry often enjoyed during holidays and festive occasions. Known for its distinctive twisted shape, it is made from a simple dough that includes flour, sugar, and often flavored with cardamom or lemon. These pastries are deep-fried until crisp and golden, then coated in powdered sugar for a sweet finish. While enjoying widespread popularity in Denmark, Klejner is usually prepared by local bakers and families during special occasions, leading to a production landscape that is diverse and regional rather than concentrated under a single brand or manufacturer. As such, it doesn’t fall under specific corporate ownership but is cherished as a part of Denmark’s culinary heritage.
