How to Make Cardamom Buns

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Whisk in the egg, melted butter, cardamom, and salt.
  3. Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out the dough to about ½ inch thickness.
  6. Cut out desired shapes (rounds, squares, etc.) using a cookie cutter or knife.
  7. Place the buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  8. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  9. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. While still warm, brush with melted butter (optional) and sprinkle with pearl sugar (optional).
