What is Gifflar?
Gifflar are small, soft Swedish cinnamon-roll pastries, made from sweet dough wrapped around a cinnamon filling. They are commonly sold in packs and are an easy-to-serve, smaller take on a familiar sweet bun rather than a large bakery-style roll.

Elsewhere, they also work well with tea or coffee when you want a little sweet bite. They are mainly a carbohydrate-rich pastry: per 100 g, they provide 60 g of carbohydrate and 390 calories.
