Paprenjak in Other Countries
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:
“Other countries drink to get drunk, and this is accepted by everyone; in France, drunkenness is a consequence, never an intention. A drink is felt as the spinning out of a pleasure, not as the necessary cause of an effect which is sought: wine is not only a philtre, it is also the leisurely act of drinking.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
