How to Prepare Kardemummabullar: Swedish Cardamom Rolls [Vegan]
- Dissolve sugar in warm milk. Add yeast. Leave covered for 15 minutes.
- Whisk together flour, salt, and cardamom powder in a large bowl. Add butter. Mix well.
- Add milk mixture and knead the dough. Add milk mix in parts. Knead for about 8 minutes till you get a very smooth, supple, and slightly tacky dough.
- Transfer to a greased bowl. Turn around so that it is evenly coated with oil. Cover and keep in a warm place for 45 minutes or until puffy.
- To make the filling, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- To make the glaze, take all the ingredients in a pan. Boil till sugar dissolves completely. Cool.
- Punch the risen dough. Transfer to a floured counter. Roll out into a 10-inchX18-inch rectangle.
- Spread filling onto the rolled dough with a spatula, covering entire area from edge to edge.
- Mark 6 inch sections on the 18-inch side. You will have three equal sections. Fold left side to the middle, then fold the right side over the left side. Turn the dough so that the longer side is facing you.
- Sprinkle some flour and roll out the dough slightly. With a sharp knife or a pastry wheel, cut one-inch strands.
- To make rolls, hold the end of the strand between thumb and index finger. Wrap the strand around the tips of your thumb and fore fingers three times. Keep twisting the dough strand as you wrap. Slip the roll out gently and tuck in the other end of the strand under the roll.
- Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Place rolls on a greased baking tray giving enough space for dough to rise and spread. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 430°F during the last 20 minutes while the dough is rising. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or till the rolls become brown from the top.
- Remove from the oven and immediately brush the rolls with the syrup. Sprinkle topping.
- Cool on the wire rack. Serve warm.

What is the yield? I’m waiting for the dough to rise right now but it doesn’t seem like there’s much of either the dough or the filling.
