After a lot of thought I’ve decided to set Deep South Fika aside for the foreseeable future to enable me to focus full time on my doctoral research.

I’m really thankful for the support I received from all of you, and especially those of you who became regular customers over the past six months.

It’s been a great adventure, but unfortunately I no longer have the energy of a 30 year old, so I’ve got to prioritise!

I will carry on posting on this account, although I will almost certainly start including research content with my baking content.

Hejdå!

Thanks for saying thanks. It really helps a small producer like me to keep going when people show appreciation.

Oil and apple juice, with some molasses in the background.

Treacle (the sweeter, lighter variant of molasses) can add some unexpected depth of taste to food and baking.

On the menu this week, some Swedish caramel shortbreads, or kolasnittar (caramel cuts) as they’re known in Swedish. This is an adaptation of Magnus Nielssen’s recipe from The Nordic Baking Book, and they have a subtle taste of ginger to them.

Keep a lookout on my menu announcement group if you’d like to order some for next week.

I bake a batch of Danish rye bread every week! This is a dense, slightly moist bread that works especially well for open sandwiches, sweet or savoury. (Some smoked trout or salmon, cream cheese, and dill is my favourite.) It’s slightly sweeter tasting than a traditional Danish rye, since I make it the Swedish way. 😛

Thanks to Rikki Hoogenhout for the photo! 😍

Seeing the rays of winter sun ☀️ come through the kitchen window to light up this tower of raspberry and blueberry crumbles was a proud moment for me. Thanks to everyone who supported me by ordering. I’ll take a break from the pies next week, but keep a lookout for some (probably) pear crumble in two weeks time.

In the meanwhile, orders are open for my regular menu for next week. WhatsApp me to order, or join my weekly menu announcement group for weekly updates. Link in bio.

Baked some smulpaj today! You’ve gotta pack these guys if you want them to level out during baking. If you don’t you’ll end up with a sunken pie.

This is one of this week’s drottningens smulpaj - the queens’s crumble - a traditional name for raspberry and blueberry combined.

Next week only! The Queen’s Crumble - raspberry and blueberry crumble, or Drottningens Smulpaj in Swedish, is a ridiculously delicious crumble. The name comes from Sweden’s famous raspberry and blueberry jam, or drottningsylt (queen’s jam). I’ll be baking these once only, so order before Monday if you don’t want to miss out. 😊

𝗡𝗘𝗫𝗧 𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞 𝗢𝗡𝗟𝗬: The Queen’s Crumble or “Drottningens Smulpaj” as it’s known in Swedish - a raspberry and blueberry crumble. This is a completely over the top delicious crumble done in the Swedish style. I’m baking these only this once and probably not again for a long time (unless there’s overwhelming demand). 🥧
