Not many people know that I am half Norwegian, it's something of which I'm proud. I come from hearty people with last names like Oppegard, (my mothers maiden name), and Haugan, and Uggen. Growing up my dad called me "Ole" more than he called me Mark, I liked it. Thanksgiving and Christmas was the time of year that our home was filled with the aroma of lefse, cardamom bread, and other Scandinavian treats.
Every Christmas I dig a little deeper into Scandinavian baking, I think 
it makes things feel more festive. I guess it's part of being a pastry nerd.While researching recipes, I ran across Skoleboller. Skoleboller is Norwegian for School Buns, a treat that mothers put in kids lunches. It's a light bread flavored with cardamom and crowned with vanilla custard, icing, and a generous sprinkle of coconut. Skoleboller is a school lunch treat that is so good you wouldn't mind going to summer school.
