december printable: lussekatter recipe!

Wahoo!!! Here is the December printable! I'm realizing now, I might have misspelled the name of the baked good on the recipe...Is lussekatten still acceptable? Swedish followers, please let me know ;; 

Lussekatter are a traditional Swedish saffron bun — they're baked to celebrate St. Lucia Day on December 13th. They're the most beautiful golden light, which I think is meant to symbolize light in the middle of the dark Scandinavian winter. St. Lucia would walk around with candles in her hair wearing a white shroud, and pass out lussekatten and gingersnaps to the poor folks in the neighborhood. 

(Though I just read a little page about her when getting this image and apparently "according to legend, she would carry food and water to Christians who had been forced to hide out in the catacombs of Rome. The catacombs were dark, and Lucy needed her hands free to carry supplies. So, she engineered an ancient version of a headlamp, wearing a wreath of candles on top of her head to light the way." So it was more of a religious persecution thing. She was also brutally murdered because she refused to give up her chastity to marry the pagan she was bethrothed to. Why does history hate women so much!!!) 

ANYWAY I was right about St. Lucia Day symbolizing light in the middle of the Scandinavian winter!! On St. Lucia Day, young girls will dress up like her and either serve their families baked goods like she would, or take part in some sort of celebration. (You don't have to wear real candles in your hair, battery operated are just fine)

Anywho!! Here you go! This is a halved recipe from my grandma's Swedish cookbook, so it's pretty legit. ;•) I know the "half an egg" is weird, but I just cracked the egg into a bowl, lightly beat it, and poured half that into the sugar. I used the other half for the egg wash, so it shan't go to waste!

The .pdf and .png are below — do with them as you please. :-) I also have the recipe typed in a .txt document, in case you want it in very plain terms. 

Happy holidays!!! I love you!! <3 God Jul!
