🇮🇸 Kleina for a Cause!
Celebrate Icelandic Independence Day with a Taste of Iceland
There's nothing quite like the warm, golden, twisted perfection of a Kleina — Iceland's beloved fried pastry that has been bringing smiles to Icelandic families for generations. And this year, you can enjoy them right here in Colorado!
🎉 Kleina at Our Independence Day Celebration.
We're baking (well, frying!) up a batch of fresh, homemade Kleinar to sell at our Icelandic Independence Day celebration, and every bag you buy helps support the Icelandic Association of Colorado and everything we do to keep our culture alive and thriving here in the Rockies. 8 Kleinar per bag — just $10.
👩🍳 Want to Learn How to Make Them? Come to Hjördís's Kitchen!
The weekend before the celebration, we're inviting the whole community — especially the little ones — to come learn the art of Kleina-making the traditional way! Join us at Hjördís's house for a hands-on baking session that's fun for all ages. Kids love twisting the dough, and everyone loves the smell of Kleinar fresh out of the pot.
It's the perfect way to connect, learn, and carry on a delicious Icelandic tradition. 🤍❤️
