As some of you might know, the sun is completely gone for two months in the winter here in Tromsø (the polar night). In Northern Norway it is common to celebrate the first day of the sun’s return. The date of the return varies, but in Tromsø it is the 21th of January. On this day it is possible to see the sun if the weather is clear. The most common way to celebrate is by drinking hot chocolate and eating “solbolla”, which is a special kind of pastry made for this day. The pastry is similar to the German Berliner Pfannkuchen, a sweet doughnut fried in fat or oil with sugar, powdered sugar or icing on the top. They are often filled with either jam or vanilla cream.
