Rusks (skorpor) are a staple of Swedish baking. They are thought to have originated as a practical way to preserve bread for long periods. By baking bread twice to remove all moisture, the resulting rusks became a durable and shelf-stable food, perfect for harsh Scandinavian winters or long journeys.
The saffron variation of rusks (saffransskorpor) likely evolved as a festive adaptation, blending the practicality of rusks with the luxury of saffron. These rusks became a symbol of warmth and hospitality, often served during the holiday season.
These saffron rusks are perfect with coffee, tea, or a glass of warm milk, making them a delightful addition to any fika or festive occasion.
