The History of Te Birkes (Kbenhavnerbirkes)
Te birkes, or Kbenhavnerbirkes, are a beloved Danish pastry with a long-standing tradition in Scandinavian bakeries. Despite the name te (tea), these flaky rolls are not typically served with tea, but the name likely harks back to older European habits of naming pastries for occasions or pairings.
What sets te birkes apart is their light, layered dough, similar to croissant pastry, filled or brushed with remonce (a sweet butter-sugar filling), then generously topped with poppy seeds. In contrast, their cousin grovbirkes are unsweetened and usually served as breakfast rolls.
These classic treats are most closely associated with Copenhagen (hence "Kbenhavnerbirkes"), where they've been a staple of morning bakery runs for generations. Still found in every good Danish bakery today, they're cherished for their contrast of textures soft and sweet inside, slightly crunchy on top.
