It is customary to serve these bright, sunny saffron buns on St. Lucia Day in Sweden (December13), either for breakfast with coffee or for an afternoon treat paired with a steaming cup of glögg. Soft, slightly sweet and studded with golden raisins, cheerful St. Lucia Buns are a reminder that longer days and sunlight are just around the corner. This recipe for St. Lucia Buns is a pleasure to make (and eat) and contains one small special step that makes them extra soft and billowy.
