Santa Lucia day and the famous "lussekatter"


Today in Norway in the Santa Lucia day. We celebrate the kind and sweet Saint Lucy "who according to legend brought food and aid to Christians hiding in the catacombs using a candle-lit wreath to light her way and leave her hands free to carry as much food as possible" ( quoting Wikipedia )

We celebrate also the winter solstice and the light finally coming back ( slowly ) in our lives ! 
There is a traditional pastry we make at this occasion in Norway : Lussekatter !

This is a spiced yeast-leavened sweet bun that is flavoured with saffron ( to remind you of the light 😎)

 I love it !

Today I veganized the recipe and it was just as good as the normal one.
Are you interested to know the recipe, do contact me, I will enlighten you 😂

Here is how to make wonderful Egyptian bread ❤ Ingredients : 350 gr water 1 packet yeast 450 gr flour 50 gr whole rye flour 10 gr salt Mix all the ingredients well and knead. Let the dough rise in a warm place for an hour. Knead again and form small balls. Cover them and let them rise for another 20 mn. Spread them out with a rolling pin to get a nice flat circle.

You use this corn flour : And you mix with water. The consistence is right when you can make a ball in your hand and there is no cracks. Then you form small balls that you flatten with the palm of your hand before frying it in the pan. It's ready when the color is right ( see the picture ) After that it's just to enjoy. You can eat the Arepas as they are ( I did... a lot ! because it's so good ) or you open them with a knife and fill them with what you want to. No need to say you... I went crazy about these things. So I made more of them. Then I saw a video on internet of somebody from El Salvador who was ma
