Ingredients

FOR THE DOUGH:
1 stick Butter
1-3/4 cup Milk
4-1/2 teaspoons Dried Yeast
3-3/4 cups Flour
1 cup Sugar
1/2 teaspoons Salt
2 teaspoons Cardamom
FOR THE FILLING:
1/2 cups Sugar
1 stick Butter
2 Tablespoons Cinnamon
FOR THE TOPPING:
1 whole Egg
4 Tablespoons Pearl Sugar

Directions

1

For the dough, in a sauce pan on low heat, melt butter. Once melted, add milk. Warm the milk until lukewarm. When the mixture is heated, take off stove top and whisk in yeast.
2

Mix flour, sugar, salt and cardamom in a large mixing bowl. Once all ingredients are combined, make a well in the middle of the mixture and add the butter and milk. Using a wooden spoon, combine wet and dry ingredients.
3

After dough is thoroughly mixed, flour a clean surface and knead for a good 5 minutes or so. Then place into a bowl covered with plastic wrap and a tea towel and let rise in a dark area for 45 minutes.
4

For the filling, in a small bowl add sugar, butter and cinnamon. Combine until it becomes a paste.
5

Cut dough in half and, on a floured surface and as best you can, roll out into a rectangle about 3mm or so thick. Spread cinnamon sugar filling on top of rolled dough. Roll dough into a small log and cut into pieces of desired size.
6

Either place in a 9-inch greased pie pan or on a 11 x 17 baking sheet. Beat egg and brush on top of rolls, adding pearl sugar before you stick them in oven.

Bake at 350°F for 24 minutes or until golden brown.
