 https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/swedish-cinnamon-buns-kanelbullar/


Heat 1 cup milk and 1/4 cup butter until 110 degrees

Meanwhile mix together 3 1/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 1/4 t instant yeast, 2 t cardamom, 3/4 t salt


Add in warm milk/butter, make into a dough and knead 10 minutes. Let rise in greased bowl for 1 hour

Meanwhile make filling: mix together 1/2 cup softened butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 T cinnamon, 1 T cardamom, 1 t vanilla


Roll dough to a 15x18 inch rectangle, with shorter side facing you

Dot with mounds of the filling and spread over dough

With short side facing you, fold the top 1/3 down over the middle, then fold the bottom 1/3 up to cover

Roll the folded dough, vertically, to flatten edges and stretch it until you have 12x16 rectangle with longer side facing you


Use pizza cutter to cut 16 1x12 inch strips. Wrap buns using fingers (see link above). Put in greased pan,  cover and put in fridge overnight. Or let them rise on counter 1 hour if baking immediately

In the morning, let the buns rest and come to room temp. Then whisk 1 egg with 1 T water and brush buns. Sprinkle pearl sugar on top or some cardamom sugar

Bake 450 for 8 minutes, reduce temp to 375 and bake another 12 min
