Swedish Cardamom Knots
A nod to Minnesota's Scandinavian roots: buttery twisted buns perfumed with freshly ground cardamom and finished with pearl sugar.
Instructions
- Make the dough: combine the milk, yeast, sugar, and cardamom; add the flour, salt, and butter and knead 8 minutes. Rise 1 hour.
- Mix the filling. Roll the dough into a 12×18-inch rectangle and spread the filling over it.
- Fold the dough in thirds like a letter, then roll gently to 10×14 inches. Cut into 14 strips.
- Twist each strip and tie into a knot, tucking the ends underneath. Place on lined sheets and rise 30 minutes.
- Brush with egg wash and sprinkle generously with pearl sugar.
- Bake at 400°F for 12–15 minutes until golden.
Baker's tip
Grind cardamom seeds fresh from the pods: the flavor is dramatically brighter than pre-ground.
