Peppery biscuits are scattered across Europe, but are particular sought after in Germanic and Scandinavian countries. It's understood that a Croatian family moved to Sweden taking their grandmother Teresa with them and her delicious recipe for pepper cookies, Paprenjak.

Each country that has adopted Paprenjak have adjusted the recipe for their region's taste. Swedish biscuit called Pepparkakor contains orange flavours. The German biscuit Pfeffernusse contains aniseed, and the Icelandic biscuit called Piparkökur contains cardamom and paprika.

Famous quotes containing the word countries:

    The American adolescent, then, is faced, as are the adolescents of all countries who have entered or are entering the machine age, with the question: freedom from what and at what price? The American feels so rich in his opportunities for free expression that he often no longer knows what it is he is free from. Neither does he know where he is not free; he does not recognize his native autocrats when he sees them.
    Erik H. Erikson (1904–1994)
