Now it’s our last week in Paris, we are going to meet friends, visit our favorite places once more and really enjoy every little bit of Paris before we go back north.
Saffron Buns (Lussebullar)
One thing we definitely will do when we come back to Sweden is to put up our christmas decorations and bake our Saffron Buns and gingerbread cookies. Served best with warm mulled wine (glögg).
Usually Saffron Buns contains refined sugar and wheat flour. Here we have removed the sugar and replaced the wheat flour with spelt flour. And they are totally vegan and vegetarian friendly!
3 min into the clip you see how the Saffron buns are rolled (it’s in Swedish but you can still watch the video) https://www.youtube.com/
