One of the YouTube channels I have discovered thanks to lockdown is the rather engaging Tasting History and its presenter Max Miller. He combines history and historic cuisine in a fairly camp Californian style that both informs and entertains.
To mark Shrove Tuesday he prepared Semlor, a traditional Swedish dessert associated with not only the day but also, 250 years ago, the death of King Adolphus Frederick I.
The video, complete with cooking instructions and historical background - though I think he is a little hard in his assessment of the monarch who succeeded in 1772, King Gustav III - can be viewed at Semlor: The Dessert That Killed A King
