directions

  • These ingredients are the same as for cinnamon rolls, follow the same directions.
  • Add the saffron to the liquid and mix.
  • Add the egg as the dough is kneaded.
  • Take a piece of dough; roll it out into a long string, thick as your finger and about 4-5 in (10-12 cm) long.
  • Roll up both ends in opposite circles until they meet about midway.
  • Place a raisin into the center of each circle.
  • Let the "lussekatt"'s rise about 30-40 min in a nondrafty area.
  • My grandmother always put a warm towel over the dough to help it to rise faster.
  • Baste with whipped egg.
  • Bake in 420-440 °F (200-225 °C), or until golden brown.
  • Not sure how many this will serve, grandmothers recipes never had that information written down.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Love to try different recipes that I've never done before. Nothing to spicy or exotic and if I have all the ingredients I will try to make it. I love this website and all the different chefs on here. I also like to tweak my own recipes that I've posted after I read other chefs tweaks of my recipes. It helps me to be a lot more courageous in trying new recipes on myself. Thank you to all the chefs on Food.com
