saffron


i was quite happy when i came upon these saffron cookies!  you see, anything baked with saffron usually disappears after the christmas holidays.  you first spot saffron - in little packages - in baskets by the cashiers as swedes will begin baking with it.  

my favourite saffron sweet?  the saffranbulle, similar to the kardemummabulle i have certainly mentioned in this space before, and in my opinion just as lovely.  stefan wouldn't agree but he's not a fan of saffron so he doesn't count :-)


because i will have to wait until december to eat a saffranbulle again - such a short season they have! - these cookies are the perfect saffron fix.  delicious dipped into tea.


swedes and their seasonal baked goods... right now, it's the semla, until easter.

happy thursday everyone!
