\/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Braided saffron buns baked in a muffin tin. These saffron buns are so delicious and filled with a lovely filling of marzipan and vanilla, which goes so well with the saffron. Saffron has a slightly unusual flavour, but together with the sweet filling it tastes wonderful. The braided saffron buns are braided and rolled up, and then baked in a muffin tin. You can see in the photos how to braid and roll them.<\/p>\n<p>These Swedish-inspired buns are perfect for Lucia Day, just like the Swedish &#8220;lussekatter&#8221;, which you can find my <a href=\"https:\/\/frederikkewaerens.dk\/en\/swedish-lucia-buns\/\">recipe for here<\/a>. In Sweden they eat lussekatter on Lucia Day, 13 December, and it is such a cosy tradition.<\/p>\n<p>There are many ways to make Lucia buns, and I have also made them as <a href=\"https:\/\/frederikkewaerens.dk\/en\/swirls-inspired-by-swedish-st-lucia-buns\/\">swirls with vanilla filling and raisins.<\/a> You can also find a recipe for <a href=\"https:\/\/frederikkewaerens.dk\/en\/saffron-twists-with-marzipan\/\">saffron twists with marzipan<\/a>, which are baked like regular twists and not in a muffin tin.
