MemorySaffron buns, and missing Lucia in Berlin
In Sweden the saffron buns come at Lucia, and I start missing them when the light goes. The dough smells of hay and warm metal, a thin high note over the butter. Nobody bakes them in my part of Berlin, so I bake them myself since three winters, badly.

In Poland we have piernik. My grandmother made the dough weeks before Christmas, it must rest. I can help to eat your buns.

Saffron sits with the leathers on here, and hay and a new hide is about right. I should have tried a bun years ago.

The club's page on saffron, where the smell only forms as the threads dry has the chemistry. We warm ours in milk before it goes in the rice.

Ingrid, I want to try. In Brazil Christmas is hot, we have panettone, not buns.
