These recipe for soft, vegan Lussekatter ( Swedish saffron buns) or St. Lucia saffron buns. But first, what does lessekatter means? It mean Lucia Cats, comes from the shape of the bun and commonly eating in December on Saint Lucia’s Feast Day. I think these golden, lightly sweet and soft rolls are perfect for a nice Winter cup of tea.

Flour: all-purpose, pastry or type 00.
Yeast: fresh or dry.
Sugar: cane sugar.
Saffron: saffron threads.
