Here comes a nice recipe for a bun that is perfect for the Lusse celebration. I like regular saffron buns, but this is even better (in my opinion anyway).
The recipe is not mine but I found this in "MER SMAK", #11 2015 and it is written by Sara Begner.
According to the pictures you can see that I tried 2 different ways to bake these in the oven - one on a regular baking sheet which allowed the bun to float out a bit and another where I put the molds down in a muffin tin to keep the look and make the bun a little higher. I thought that the buns were definitely better if they were allowed to float a little as the dough improved and at the same time it was also easier to eat the bun.
With around 24 buns, it can be a bit difficult to eat them all right after they are baked, so I freeze them right after they have cooled and the frosting has set. Then I take them out and let them thaw in the fridge for an hour or so and just before serving it is perfect if they get a few seconds in the microwave so they are served slightly warm. They are OK at room temperature, but they are best slightly warmed.
