Kids bake – Lusse cats

December 11, 2019

Lussekatter cats

On Friday we celebrate Lucia here in Sweden and then we eat “Lussekatter”. They are saffron buns shaped like a S and are super yummy! I have no idea why they are called cats. My kids were asking about it and I tried to look it up, but it has something to do with the devil?! It sounded a bit complicated to explain to a 4 and a 5 year old so we made them looking like yellow cats with rasin eyes, nose and chocolate whiskers.

Here is a recipe on how to make them:
