Ingredients

200 g butter

5 dl milk

2 packets (1 g) saffron

1 sugar cube

1 packet (50 g) yeast

a pinch of salt

1 dl sugar

3 tbsp luke-warm water

2 eggs

15 dl all purpose flour

1.5 dl raisins + raisins for garnish

1 egg for brushing

Method

Melt the butter, pour in the milk and make sure it's luke-warm at about 37 degrees. In a mortle and pestle, grind saffron and the sugar cube before adding it to the mixture. Crumple up the yeast in a bowl and add sugar, salt and the water before you stir. After, pour in the saffron milk, add the eggs and mix again. Leave out about 1 dl of the flour for powdering your surface and dough later. Mix in raisins and the other 15 dl of flour. After the dough is properly combined, cover the bowl with a tea towel and leave it to rise for 1 to 1.5 hours. While the dough is rising, turn the oven to 260 degrees and cover two baking trays with baking paper. When the dough has risen, place it on a floured baking board and knead it lightly. Separate the dough in half then divide each of those into four pieces before dividing those into four separate pieces. Roll out each dough piece and make an "S" shape before popping it on a baking tray. Garnish the buns with two raisins and let them rest for about ten minutes. Brush the buns with egg and put them in the oven for up to eight minutes. Let them rest under a towel. And voila, enjoy!
