Tebirkes · Copenhagen
Tebirkes is the Copenhagen morning pastry: a square of laminated yeast dough wrapped around marzipan or remonce, topped with poppy seeds, baked until shattering and tender.
Tebirkes evolved out of 19th-century Danish viennoiserie traditions and was codified by Copenhagen bakery chains through the 20th century. The modern resurgence runs through Hart Bageri (Richard Hart, formerly Tartine) and Juno the Bakery (Emil Glaser, formerly noma), with Andersen & Maillard putting a roastery flat white alongside.
