Small Raspberry Treats or Hallongrottor / Miminhos de Framboesa.

I was dying to make these little treats since the day I got the gorgeous Scandikitchen Fika & Hygge cook book. A book that you all know I love A LOT and I introduced you here.

These little treats, are very easy to make and the ingredients used are staples in every kitchen but the thing is, sometimes we run out of staples and that's what happened every time I decided to make them. There was always something missing!!

This time, I was very organised and got all the ingredients ready, because they're gorgeous and delicious to bake around this time of the year and to be enjoyed in good company and a very nice and hot cup of tea.

Saint Lucia/Saffron Buns/Lussekatter for the Sweet World.

Saint Lucia buns, also known as Lussekatter or Saffron Buns, are rich, spiced yeast-leavened sweet buns that are flavoured with saffron and contains raisins.

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 Saint Lucy's Day, December 13.

St. Lucia celebrations include a procession of young girls in white dresses carrying candles. Most of the girls carry a single candle, but the girl chosen to represent Lucia wears an entire crown of lit candles, and carries a tray of saffron scented St. Lucia buns.

Saint Lucia or Saffron Buns, is the theme chosen for this month's Sweet World and the recipe I choose is this one, from my favourite Scandinavian author, Brontë Aurell and from her delicious book, The Scandi Kitchen.
