This is dough for making lussekatter, Swedish saffron buns. I am not Swedish but about ten years ago I started making these buns every year in December and it has become one of my favourite traditions.
The buns are so delicious and I just love that intense yellow colour from the saffron, so beautiful.
Here’s how my lussekatter turned out this year, fresh out of the oven:
So yellow, so pretty.
I completely forgot, but a few years ago I actually shared my (vegan) recipe for lussekatter. Do try them! I know, saffron is expensive but this is a special treat and for a special treat I think it is worth the cost. :-)
