Carolina Soudah’s lussekatter for Arla are saffron yeast buns with quark in the dough. The recipe places them in the Advent-to-Christmas season and finishes the shaped buns with raisins and an egg wash.
Butter is melted, milk is added and the mixture is warmed before being poured over crumbled yeast. Quark, saffron, granulated sugar, salt and most of the wheat flour are worked into a smooth dough, which rises covered.
The dough is divided on a floured work surface into thirty-five pieces and shaped into the classic S form. Raisins soak in water before being pressed into the shaped buns, which rise again on baking paper.
The buns are brushed with a separate beaten egg and baked until golden, then left to cool on a rack. Saffron colours and flavours the quark-and-wheat dough beneath the raisin finish.
Arla suggests prepared glögg or a glass of milk alongside the lussekatter. These drinks accompany the baked saffron buns.
