Few smells are as wonderful as freshly-ground cardamom. If you don't have a mortar and pestle, you can crush the cardamom pods with a rolling pin or put the pods between two cutting boards and crush them. This ensures you get the most flavour out!

Instructions

Step 1

Crumble the yeast into a bowl. Heat the milk to about 37 °. Pour the milk over the yeast, and stir until the yeast dissolves.

Step 2

Add the salt, sugar, cardamom, butter, eggs and almost all the flour. Work the dough until it becomes glossy and smooth. Allow to rest under a cloth for about 30 minutes.

Step 3

Heat the oven to 225 °.

Step 4

Mix the filling ingredients together. Work the dough on a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into two pieces and roll out into rectangles, about 30 x 45 cm.
