Swedish Saffron Buns: Lussebullar spelt flour + oat milk

Swedish Saffron Buns: Lussebullar spelt flour + oat milk are usually made and eaten on 13 Dec St Lucia's. My version of this Swedish recipe is using spelt flour and oat milk.
Saffron buns are a classic Swedish recipe for fluffy buns or fluffy cats as they are known in Sweden. Why wait until December let's practise eating them now. The scroll-style saffron buns look fancy but are relatively easy to make. In my video, I used a combination of white and wholegrain spelt flour, I was amazed they still tasted great. Not traditional for saffron buns but I add a little vanilla sugar and cardamom spice as they are quite plain style buns. We also enjoy eating them with butter. #swedishrecipe #lussebullar #saffronbuns #speltflour #swedishsaffronbuns #oatmilkrecipe #bakingwithspelt #bakingwithoatmilk #bakinginsweden

Takes = 15 mins prep. + 30 mins resting x 2 = total 1.15 hours

Easy Swedish Recipe for Lussekatter (Saffron Buns) to celebrate St. Lucia Day | Rosetta Stone®

Celebrate St. Lucia Day with Swedish holiday foods, including an easy recipe for how to make lussekatter—which are Swedish saffron buns served for breakfast on Santa Lucia Day.


Micro-Sized Holiday Meals scales down culturally-rich recipes that are traditionally meant for feasts, so you can still get a taste of the holidays while staying at home. Learn more about celebrating St, Lucia Day with traditional Swedish holiday foods that can be prepared in your own home kitchen. Lussekatter is the Swedish word for fragrant saffron buns that are served as part of the celebrations for St. Lucia Day (especially for breakfast and the fikas that follow), held on December 13th to honor Saint Lucia of Syracruse who was said to have brought food to the Christians hiding from persecution in the Roman catacombs.

Lussekatter, or Swedish saffron buns, are relatively easy to make but you’ll need to plan some extra time because the sweet dough takes two risings. Saffron, one of the essential ingredients in these traditional Swedish holiday buns, can be found in most grocery stores in the spice aisle. Although it can seem expensive, a little saffron goes a long way, and most recipes that utilize this precious spice only call for a pinch or two.

One of the things to note about St. Lucia saffron buns is their distinctive “S” shape, made by rolling the dough into a long strand and then rolling each end back on itself. St. Lucia Day is also widely celebrated with processions in which young girls pass out the saffron buns while dressed as St. Lucia with a wreath of lingonberries and candles (yes, REAL candles) in their hair.
