Happy Easter!

 

The best thing about muffins are the endless variations you can make. With filling, without filling, with topping, without topping. Then you can vary the filling and the topping! Here are some of my favourite  ones I've baked for our sweet Easter weekend, and it's going to be such a warm and sunny weekend too! Raspberry filling, raspberry creamcheese topping, chocolate topping.

I used the recipe from one of my favourite chefs, the beautiful and happy Leila Lindholm, from Sweden. from one of her books, A Piece of Cake. If you don't know her, let me tell you she makes delicious cakes and the styling in her books and TV programs are so countryside perfect! Check out her website! There is also an English version, if you're not so sure about your Swedish! I saw that her latest book, One More Slice is coming out in the UK, France, Germany, Austria, Denmark, Switzerland, Italy and Finland!

I wish you all a very HAPPY EASTER!

3rd of Advent & Lucia

Last Sunday was the 3rd of Advent, which means only one more Sunday till Christmas!


It was also Lucia.

More Lucia songs here!

So we baked the traditional lusse bullar. Delicious saffran buns!
And I just love when the dough is rising! And the smell!...

You can make them into different shapes and they all have different names.

This one is a dubbel kusse.
I symbolically give it to Vera at Brikebrok
who, on the 1st of Advent, wondered if I had baked the lusse bulle on the photo, which I hadn't.

We also made pepparkakor, the Swedish gingerbread biscuits, which of course noone could keep their hands off!
