Everything about Saffron Bun totally explained
A
saffron bun, or
lussekatt in Swedish (pl. Lussekatter, from
Saint Lucia), is a rich
yeast dough
bun that's flavoured with
saffron and
cinnamon or
nutmeg and contains
currants. In Sweden, no cinnamon or nutmeg is used in the bun, and
raisins are used instead of currants. The buns are baked into many traditional shapes, of which the simplest is a reversed S-shape. They are traditionally eaten during
Advent, and especially on
Luciadagen (St. Lucy's Day, December 13).
In England, the buns were traditionally baked on
sycamore leaves and dusted with powdered
sugar. This "revel bun" from
Cornwall is baked for special occasions, such as anniversary feasts (revels), or the dedication of a church. In the West of Cornwall large saffron buns are also known as "tea treat buns" and are associated with
Methodist Sunday School outings or activities.
Larger versions of the saffron bun baked in a loaf tin are known as saffron cake.
