I fell in love with Sweden the moment I set foot in it, back in April.
I think I mentioned it in my last buns recipe (here<\/a>): the thing I love most is their baked goods obviously, especially cardamom buns.
So, today I'll share with you the perfect Christmas cinnamon rolls<\/strong> (or buns, whatever you want to call 'em) recipe, with Lingonberry jam and pistachios.<\/strong> VERRRY Swedish!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas cinnamon rolls: your December 25 breakfast 🎅 <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Me and boyfriend really enjoy eating buns\/rolls for breakfast every once in a while.
And these... OMG, just look at them. Don't they look like the perfect Christmas breakfast to share with your loved ones? <\/strong>They do, let me tell you.
Right now, I'm picturing myself at my parents' house, in the kitchen eating these sweet buns with them, boyfriend and nephews. That is the meaning of this feast day, to me.
As I mentioned in my latest post, Christmas to me has never been stressful. It doesn't mean 'gifts', it has always meant family and joy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also \"veganize<\/em>\" them....<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Back to these Christmas cinnamon rolls...<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recipe is adapted from this one<\/a><\/strong> I developed for Sister Mag back in March 2019. That dough was almost vegan, except for the honey.
This time I've used egg instead of applesauce and plain milk instead of almond's, so it's definitely not vegan.
BUT... if you want to \"veganize\"<\/em> it check out the recipe I've linked above and swap honey for brown sugar. Easy, uh?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the filling<\/strong>, instead of using raspberry jam I've used lingonberry. The initial idea was to use fresh cranberries, but I had no luck. Couldn't find them anywhere!
I thought \"Ok, let's find cranberries' jam\"<\/em> - Ditto. No luck.
So, they ended up being lingonberry jam buns. Oh, well...not bad. Way more Swedish!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P.S. you have to try that recipe I developed for Sister Mag, it was to die for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you substitute lingonberry for cranberry?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of course you can! As I mentioned above, at first I wanted to make these Christmas buns with cranberries, then with cranberry jam. So if you can find them - I'm sure in the U.S. you can - try!
Yes, I didn't test the recipe with it, but these two fruits are easily interchangeable.
These two berries belong to the same family and they have a slightly sour and sweet taste. Delish!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What goes well with lingonberries?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this recipe I've topped my buns with ground pistachios for 2 reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
