lussekatter

Christmas evening was spent making lussekatter (Swedish saffron buns). They didn't turn out as delicious as expected but still fun to make.

Crushing the saffron with a poor man's mortar and pestle (yep, that's a wine corker):

Warm butter and milk:

Mix with yeast:

Add other fun ingredients:

Stir until all doughy:

Let rise, then punch:

Roll into s-shaped buns and let rise again:

Right outta the oven:

Ta-da!...

My inspiration (haha):

merry christmas

New year... new start?
