There is nothing better than
the smell of freshly baked bread...
|
|
|
| The
charming dining room of the Swedish Country Inn features
freshly baked bread including Swedish rye bread and our famous
Swedish Tea Rings. We ship these festively decorated
rings anywhere in the U.S. We also bake 2 kinds of
skorpor (rusks) including mandleskorpor (almond rusks) and
skorpor (made with pecans). As you leave the Inn you may
wish to take a Swedish tea ring or a bag or two of skorpor as
a reminder of your stay here. |

Our
Swedish breakfast buffet is served each morning to our guests
and to the public. We serve from 7 to 10 a.m. Monday
through Friday, and 7 to 11 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
The breakfast is included in a nights stay and is available to
the public for $6.50 per person.

Skorpor
translates to "toast". The following is an old
Swedish recipe that was brought to Lindsborg by the first Swedish
immigrants in 1869. These are available in our lobby to enjoy
with coffee or tea or they may be purchased to take home. |
