Steps:
- In a small saucepan, combine the milk, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and the saffron threads. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Once the milk is steaming, remove from the heat and let cool to 110˚F (43˚C).
- Sprinkle the yeast over the milk and let bubble, about 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining sugar, salt, and cardamom.
- Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the milk, 2 eggs, sour cream, and butter. Stir to combine, then, once the dough starts to come together, use your hands to incorporate fully.
- Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and knead until the dough is springy, about 5 minutes.
- Place the dough in a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and flip onto a clean surface.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Form each piece into a ball about 2 inches (5 cm) wide, then roll into a cylinder about 12-14 inches (30 cm) long
- Swirl the dough into a S shape starting at one end until the middle and then the other end.
- Transfer the dough to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise for 30 minutes, until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Beat the remaining egg and brush over the dough swirls. Place a single raisin or chocolate chip in the center of the swirls on each end.

Steps:
- Put the milk in a small pan and gently heat until it's steaming. Use a pestle and mortar to grind the saffron into a powder. Add this to the pan of milk along with the butter. Swirl to melt the butter, then set aside until lukewarm.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, caster sugar, 1 tsp salt and the yeast together, and make a well in the middle of the bowl. Pour in the milk mixture along with the egg. Mix together to form a sticky dough, then turn out onto the work surface and knead until smooth and elastic (this will take about 10 mins). Put the dough into a lightly oiled bowl and cover with oiled cling film. Set the bowl in a warm part of the house and allow to rise for about 1 hr until doubled in size.
- Knock back the dough and divide into 12 equal portions. Cover the pieces with the oiled cling film while you make the rolls - this will stop the dough from drying out. Working with 1 piece of dough at a time, roll out into a 30cm-long strand. Roll up one end into the middle, turn over and roll the other end into the middle, forming the dough into an S-shape. Place the buns on a large (or 2 smaller) parchment-lined baking tray. Once all the buns are made, lightly cover with oiled cling film and prove until almost doubled in size (if making ahead, keep the dough in the fridge overnight and bake in the morning). While the buns prove, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
- When ready to bake, brush the buns with beaten egg and press a currant into the centre of each spiral. Put the trays in the oven and bake for around 15 mins. Allow to cool before serving. These are best eaten on the day they are made but will keep for a couple of days.

ST. LUCIA BUNS
These saffron-hued sweet buns, called Lussebullar, are a staple of the Swedish tradition of St. Lucia's Day, a winter-solstice celebration. The recipe is from Jennifer Jansch, whose children serve their parents the buns every Dec. 13, when the holiday is observed.

Steps:
- Place the butter and milk in a medium bowl. Using a mortar and pestle, grind the saffron with a pinch of the sugar, and stir into the mixture. In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in a little of the lukewarm butter mixture, then add the remaining butter mixture, the remaining sugar and the salt.
- Gradually add enough of the flour (almost all of it) to make a workable dough, kneading for 10 minutes by hand or 5 minutes in a mixer with a dough hook. Shape into a ball, sprinkle with a little flour and cover with a cloth. Allow to rise in a warm spot for 30 to 45 minutes.
- Transfer the dough to a floured work surface, and knead in additional flour if the dough is sticky. Shape as desired into buns, braids or lengths. Place on lined baking sheets, and allow to rise again for 30 to 45 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400.
- Brush the buns with beaten egg, and press raisins lightly into the dough. Bake until golden and risen, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a bun comes out dry. Smaller buns may take 8 to 10 minutes; larger lengths and braids, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool the buns on a rack under a cloth.
SAFFRON BUNS
A tradition in our families from England and Sweden. Saffron is expensive to buy, so I don't make these but once or twice a year.

- In a small sauce pan heat the milk, saffron, 1/4 cup of the sugar and butter together until the butter melts, but do not boil the milk, it just needs to be warm. Add the yeast to the warm milk and let it sit a bit so that the yeast dissolves. You don't want the milk too warm because it will kill the yeast.
- Add milk mixture, 2 eggs and sour cream to the flour mixture and using the hook attachment mix well until dough is smooth. Add raisins and mix until raisins are evenly distributed in the dough.
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm spot until it doubles in size.

- Heat the milk in a saucepan to almost boiling point. Remove from the heat and lightly crumble the saffron threads between your fingers into the milk, then stir.
- Combine the sifted flour, salt, sugar and yeast in the bowl of a food mixer fitted with a dough hook. Make a well in the centre and add the warm milk mixture.
- Add the raisins and mixed peel and continue to knead for a further 5 minutes until the dough feels springy and elastic. It should bounce back when pressed with a finger.
- Cover the bowl with cling film or a clean tea towel and leave to rise in a warm place for about 45–60 minutes, or until doubled in size. (Alternatively combine all the ingredients – except the raisins and peel – in a bowl and add the warm milk mixture.
- When risen, turn the dough out onto a floured board and knock it back (knock the air out of the dough) and knead for a couple of minutes.
- Divide the dough into 8–10 even pieces and roll each into a ball. Arrange them on on a baking sheet, leaving some space between each. Cover with a tea towel or cling film and leave to rise again for about 25–30 minutes.
- While the buns are in the oven, make the glaze. Dissolve the caster sugar in a pan with 3 tablespoons of water. Bring to the boil for about a minute to create a glossy syrup.
- Remove the buns from the oven and put on a wire rack. Brush the tops with the syrup and leave to cool a little. Serve warm with butter or clotted cream, or allow to cool and serve halved and toasted with butter.

- Preheat the oven to 275 F. Spread the saffron on a small cookie sheet and bake at 275 F for 10-15 minutes. It should dry out and turn a deeper shade of red. Watch it carefully to prevent it from burning.
- Warm the milk to 115 F. If you use the microwave to warm the milk, put a small wooden spoon in the milk to break the surface tension and prevent it from exploding.
- Bake in the middle of the oven at 375 F for 18-20 minutes. Watch them carefully to make sure they don't burn. The buns should be well browned and have an internal temperature of 190-200 F.
