To burn it off
A lussekatt, or lussebulle, is the saffron bun of Lucia on 13 December. It is twisted into an S with a raisin in each curl and baked all through December in Sweden, Norway and Finland, and in Scandinavian bakeries in London and New York too.
One is about 190 kcal, with 32 g of carbs, 4 g of protein and 5 g of fat. Lighter than a cinnamon roll at 400, because there is no butter filling inside.
Lucia morning is candles, white dresses, a song, coffee and these. One or two with a coffee is exactly the point of the day.
