Where Do Saffron Buns Come From?
Saffron buns are a traditional pastry from Sweden and Norway, typically eaten during Advent and Christmas. The buns are made with saffron threads, which give them a distinctive bright yellow color and a unique flavor. In Sweden, they are called “lussekatter” and are often baked in the shape of an “S” or a curled-up figure eight. In Norway, they are called “safranboller” and are often shaped like a knot or a twist.
