St Lucia Buns

"13 December is the feast of St Lucia. In Sweden, they celebrate the day with a procession of young girls dressed in white who wear crowns festooned with candles. They also bake and eat Lussekatter or Lussebullar, saffron buns twisted into an ‘S’ shape with two raisins stuck into the centres of the coils. Lucia buns are delightful. Soft and tender, possibly through the addition of skyr, Icelandic style yoghurt. They are so gorgeously yellow with saffron you might think they were better fit for Easter than Christmas. And not difficult to make at all. "
