Ingredients

• 250 g (1 cup) milk
• 2 1/2 tsp yeast
• 70 g (5 tbsp) butter
• 12 pods of cardamon, crushed and ground (around 2 tsp)
• 55 g (3 tbsp) brown sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 460 g (2 cups) flour
• 87 g (6 tbsp) butter
• 115 g (6 tbsp) brown sugar
• 32 g (4 tbsp) ground cinnamon
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 tsp milk
• pearl sugar, chopped almonds

Directions

• In a mixing bowl, sprinkle yeast on top of the milk. Mix and set aside.
• Combine the butter, cardamon, sugar, and salt in large bowl. Add in the milk mixture and the flour.
• Mix and knead for about 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rise until doubled in size about 45 - 60 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cream together the filling ingredients.
• Punch down the dough and then roll out into a 50 cm by 60 cm rectangle. Spread the filling on, completely covering the top of the rectangle. Fold the dough into thirds (think business letter), so that it measures something among the lines of 50 cm by 20 cm.
• Cut the dough in half so now the 50 cm side measures around 25 cm and then cut into the 20 cm side into 3cm strips.
• Take the strip and cut it down the middle, leaving the top part uncut (kinda like a long pair of pants).
• Then, stretch those pant legs down and twist together.
• Knot it and place it on parchment paper.
• Repeat with the rest of the dough.
• Cover and rise for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 475 F.
• Brush the buns with a beaten egg and sprinkle on pearl sugar and/or almonds if desired.
• Bake for 8-11 minutes, or until golden.
