Fastelavensboller - a Taste of Childhood

In my childhood, sometimes before Easter, my mother would serve "fastelavensboller" with whipped cream and a little piece of marzipan hidden inside.
This is a tradition from Sweden, but from the time Sweden was Catholic (before 1523). I was told the Catholics fasted before Easter , not eating meat, but only fish and milk food.
So here I am, in 2007, enjoying a "fastelavensbolle" just because of the taste !
