The risotto gets a wonderful yellow colour (and you can also "smell" the saffron!).<BR/>Have a nice day Britt-Arnhild!Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02062381754017907653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6695281204227160025.post-8481105364820404132007-12-16T13:11:00.000-08:002007-12-16T13:11:00.000-08:00Barbara- here are a few links for you:http://lucul...Barbara- here are a few links for you:<BR/>http://lucullian.blogspot.com/2005/12/lussekatter.html<BR/><BR/>http://hem.bredband.net/berteg/lusse.htm<BR/><BR/>http://brittarnhildshouseinthewoods.typepad.com/brittarnhilds_house_in_th/2005/12/december_13th.html<BR/><BR/>Yes, one gram is enough. Saffron it terrible expensive here in Norway, therefore I sometimes use only 1/2 gram and it seems okay too. This year I used 1g though.Britt-Arnhildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05517393095921382789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6695281204227160025.post-32351254557368699782007-12-16T13:03:00.000-08:002007-12-16T13:03:00.000-08:00I wonder whether you really need just 1/2 to 1 gra...I wonder whether you really need just 1/2 to 1 gramm saffron for this recipe? It sounds so little in comparison with 1,5 kg flour. Does the "lussekatter" get the smell and the colour of saffron? And how do I form them? Sorry for all these questions, but I'd like to try to bake them (though only half of it!).<BR/>Regards, BarbaraBarbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02062381754017907653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6695281204227160025.post-7804012758122963262007-12-15T08:14:00.000-08:002007-12-15T08:14:00.000-08:00Thanks for the recipe!And for the explanation beca...Thanks for the recipe!<BR/>And for the explanation because now I know why my dad's family (originally from Norway) didn't celebrate Santa Lucia Day. My mom's family was originally from Sweden so when I was little, we did. It's a lovely tradition, I'm glad Norway celebrates it now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
