Every year I look forward to December 13 - St. Lucia Day. Probably because my ancestral heritage is half Swedish, her day is extra special to me. If you've followed my blog for any amount of time, you've doubtless read one of my many posts (including yesterday's) about this beloved saint - aka "Saint Lucy". Past Posts: Children's books about Saint Lucia Our Family Remembrances Photoblog: How to Make Lucia Buns St. Lucia Procession: A Crown of Light Today I'm sharing a tried-and-true recipe for Lucia buns - "Lussekatter" - and a tongue-in-cheek short video you can watch while the "Lussekatter" rise. Enjoy! LUCIA BUNS Ingredients: 1 cup melted butter 1 cup milk 3/4 cup sugar 1 tsp. salt 2 pkg. dry active yeast (4 1/2 tsp) 6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 t. cardamom 2 eggs, well-beaten, plus one egg white raisins or currants to decorate (Prep time: 120 minutes. Bake time: 15 minutes) Procedure: Heat milk to a light boil, turning off heat when it reaches the scalding point (with small bubbles across the top). Stir in melted butter, sugar, and salt. Pour mixture into mixing bowl and allow to cool until “finger-warm” (still quite warm, but just cool enough to touch). Stir in yeast and let sit for 10 minutes. Add cardamom to 3 1/2 cups flour; mix flour into liquid. Stir in two well-beaten eggs. Add enough of the remaining flour to form a soft dough (just until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. You don't want to add too much flour). Transfer dough to a large greased bowl and turn to coat all sides. Cover with a clean towel and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch down risen dough. Lightly knead two or three times on a floured surface. Pinch off small handfuls of dough (about 2 1/4") and roll into long "snakes." Shape snakes into "X"-shaped buns or other desired shapes. source Place on a lightly greased baking sheet, cover with the towel again, and allow to rise until doubled (about an hour). Decorate buns with raisins, brush with egg white, and bake in preheated 375º oven about 15 minutes, just until brown.

The instant New York Times bestseller "Sublime...Colgan infuses her latest book with humor, wit, suspense and a perfectly cast love triangle."--USA Today "The Christmas Bookshop is literary hot chocolate with a bourbon shot: hot, sweet but with a surprising emotional kick."--The Times (UK) Perfect for the holidays A brand-new heartwarming Christmas novel from the beloved New York Times bestselling author of The Bookshop on the Corner and Christmas at the Island Hotel. Laid off from her department store job, Carmen has perilously little cash and few options. The prospect of spending Christmas with her perfect sister Sofia, in Sofia's perfect house with her perfect children and her perfectly ordered yuppie life does not appeal. Frankly, Sofia doesn't exactly want her prickly sister Carmen there either. But Sofia has yet another baby on the way, a mother desperate to see her daughters get along, and a client who needs help revitalizing his shabby old bookshop. So Carmen moves in and takes the job. Thrown rather suddenly into the inner workings of Mr. McCredie's ancient bookshop on the picturesque streets of historic Edinburgh, Carmen is intrigued despite herself. The store is dusty and disorganized but undeniably charming. Can she breathe some new life into it in time for Christmas shopping? What will happen when a famous and charismatic author takes a sudden interest in the bookshop--and Carmen? And will the Christmas spirit be enough to help heal her fractured family?
