LUSSEKATTER

Perfect for Lucia Day (or any day that needs a little extra joy)!

By popular request, we’re sharing our recipe for lussekatter made with our own ancient grains and dairy products from Rørosmeieriet.

For 25 lussekatter, you’ll need:

• 200 g melted butter

• 7 dl organic whole milk

• 1 kg sifted spelt / spelt and emmer baking mix

• 25 g yeast (fresh or dry)

• 1 g saffron or 1 tsp turmeric

• 2 dl honey or raw cane sugar

• 1 tsp pure salt

• 2 tsp cardamom

• Organic raisins for decoration

  
  

Here’s how you do it:

1. Melt the butter in a pot.

2. Add the milk and heat it to 37°C.

3. Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl and knead the dough together.

4. If using a mixer, knead at low speed. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour.

5. Knead until the dough is easy to work with. Cover with a cloth/plastic and let it rise for 1.5 hours.

6. Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto the work surface and divide it into pieces.

7. Roll the pieces into sausages, shape them into lussekatter, and decorate with raisins.

8. Let the lussekatter rise for an hour on a baking sheet. Brush with whipped egg and bake at 200°C for about 15 minutes.

   
   

Enjoy your freshly baked lussekatter and have a wonderful Lucia!
