== History == The concept of a saffron pancake has its roots in medieval cuisine, when wealthy households served flavoured and coloured rice puddings. Gotland's status as part of the Hanseatic League provided geographical and financial access to exotic spices. The particular combination of rice-almond-saffron-sugar made the dish extremely exclusive, compared to the saffron bread that has been known since the 16th century.
