For me, summer tastes of fruity citrus fruits, fresh berries, coconuts and white chocolate. And that’s exactly what this summer version of Norwegian cinnamon knots tastes like. The lemon-coconut knots have the same fluffy, soft dough, but with a summery, fruity filling. You can either leave the dough to rest overnight or mix it in the morning in summer temperatures and bake it in the afternoon.
