Lussekatter (Lucia Buns)
December 13th is Saint Lucy’s Day (Luciadag), a Christian holiday that Scandinavia celebrates. It is an imported Swedish holiday in Denmark, so most of our traditions stem from Sweden.

November is coming to an end, which means it’s Thanksgiving time in the US! Our favorite part of Thanksgiving is by far the food and quality time spent with family.
We love bread rolls. Possibly more than regular loaves of bread, and that’s a significant statement for us. They’re just the perfect little package of bread, with lots of crust on the outside and a fluffy interior.
Autumn is one of the best times of year to bake, with winter being the only season that beats it. That’s just my opinion, of course, but I think most people who do a lot of Christmas baking would agree!
I firmly believe that a good slice, loaf, roll, etc. of bread has the power to change your entire day. That’s why starting the morning with freshly baked bread is unbeatable and sets you up perfectly for the day ahead.
Life has been full of lots of changes recently. I (Emma) just moved to the UK after living at home for a year and a half and it has definitely been a huge adjustment.
Any Dane reading our translation of this cake as “Raspberry Meringue Cake” will probably chuckle a bit. That’s because it’s not at all what the Danish means. Really, this cake should be called “Grandfather’s Beard.”
Happy August everyone! It’s crazy to think that the summer is nearly over, but there’s still a month left to enjoy what’s left! And this is a great summery recipe.
Fluffy, freshly baked rolls fresh out of the oven. Cut in half and topped with any of the following: butter, jam, cheese, Nutella, peanut butter, etc. Need I say more?
