My Christmas Kitchen part 3, Saffrans-skorpor





Saffrans-skorpor/saffron biscuits

They sure are one of my Christmas favorites
I make them every Christmas, and sometimes for the summer as its very good to have some good biscuits in the house. You can choose other flavors, I one time added lavendel, it was super!

Stockholm 


I use a recipe from  




 Saffron and sugar in a mortar, 
this one once belonged to my grandmother



Julbak


 Use a machine for making 1/3 of the almonds 
into small pieces




Dark chocolate with high cacao level cut in pieces together with almond in pieces





2 egg, 2 dl sugar 1 g saffron and 1 teaspoon salt, together with almond and chocolate



1 teaspoon baking powder, 2 dl wheatflour,
add some more
little by little, not too much!


julbak


 Let the machine make a dough for you


saffron


 The dough cut in three pieces, rolled 
and "pushed" on:)

15-20 minutes 180 degrees





Almost ready but need to be cut into pieces and dry in oven of 100 degrees 30-40 minutes



saffransskorpor


 Ready to eat

Maybe dip it into a glass of red wine
as they do in Italy:)

Time to light the first candle - Första Advent




I wish you all a peaceful 
Advent Sunday!





Första advent Baggböle



Traditional ginger bread/ pepparkakor
I will post later on how to make them



Baggböle Saffransbröd


Bread with saffron and marzipan inside 
I just love the combination



James Taylors CD At Christmas  


with lots of classic christmas tunes, soft and with a sometimes cool jazzy touch, 
is great listening to 
when having coffee and cakes


I recommend it strongly, and guess what..?
One of the melodys have harmonica on it... played by the one and only
Toots Thielmans 


Guess its a Golden sign
... the harmonica creates harmony
