Gluten Free Swedish Saffron Buns (Lussekatter)

Hi all!

So I tried and I tried and I tried to find a gluten free alternative to the traditional Swedish Lussekatter. However, all the recipes in Sweden used Semper flour mix which I never liked as it contains all sorts of strange things and is FAR from being healthy. So I tried to see what I could do and which flours would work best for this, which I found was Red Mill Gluten Free Flour. This is what I came up with. Now, the recipe has sugar in it, although you can skip it entirely or just use half! The trick is, greek yoghurt and less flour...

Ingredients

75 g Butter
2 dl Milk
50 g fresh Yeast
2 Tsp Fiber Husk
1 Egg
1 dl greek yoghurt
1 Packet Saffron
1 dl Sugar
500 g Gluten free flour mix ( I used Red Mill as they are the absolute best!)

Method

Melt the butter and add the milk and let cool. Whisk the yeast and fiber husk into the butter mixture. Add the yoghurt, sugar egg and saffron.

Add the flour to a separate bowl. Remove 2 dl of the flour, and set aside. Add the wet mixture to the flour and work. Let the dough set for 30 mins under a baking towel.

Preheat your oven to 250 C

Roll and shape the dough into lussekatter and gently cover them with a whisked egg.

Place in the oven for 5 mins, and check on them!

Viola!

Enjoy!

Decadent But Not So Naughty Dessert

So I have a secret dessert recipe I want to share with you all. It's not too sweet but just enough to satisfy the tastebuds after a delicious meal. Enjoy! It's a perfect substitute to all the sugary and sweet holiday desserts!

Decadent Dessert

Ingredients

1 can Coconut Milk

2 Tsp vanilla extract (organic)

150 g Chocolate (darker the better)

5-6 Tbs chia seeds

Method

In a saucepan on low heat add the coconut milk and break the chocolate into the milk and stir gently till all is dissolved. Then add the vanilla and lastly the chia. Pour into little bowls or I have once done it in small espresso cups. Place in the fridge and let set for a few hours 2-3 should be enough.

Serve chilled and with berries on top. It becomes like a healthy chocolate mousse! The entire recipe depends on the quality of chocolate you use. Now I prefer some sweetness so 70% Lindt with chilli was my favourite but you can use anything really!
