There's an old tradition back in the times when the housewifes made 7 different kinds (20-30 of each) of cookies before Christmas (some still do) - and one of them has the name "fattig mann" which literally means "poor man". I never liked them. I guess they have what you want in a patisserie (is that the word?), but I haven't looked.

Wrong answer. The one that looks like a donut is called "smultring" - (= "lard ring") - nevermind.

How about some yulekakka (sp?) or reasonable facsimile?
