Swedish Saffron Buns

Cultural Context

Originating from Sweden, saffron buns, or 'lussekatter', are traditionally baked during the Advent season and served on Saint Lucia's Day, December 13th. These sweet, golden buns symbolize light in the dark winter months and are often enjoyed with coffee or mulled wine. Today, they are beloved not only in Sweden but also in various Scandinavian countries, often appearing at festive gatherings and holiday celebrations.

Start by mixing the ingredients for the saffron buns in a KitchenAid mixer.

4

Let the dough rise for 30 minutes in a warm place, covered with a little flour on top.

After 30 minutes, check the dough; it should be fluffy and jiggly.

Knead the dough again, folding it to create a nice spongy texture.

Shape the dough into an 'S' shape or roll it up like a cinnamon bun.
