CARDAMON
BUNS (Kardemommeboller)
2
cups (5 dl) milk
1/4 cup (55 g) butter
1/4 cup (55 g) margarine
1 pkg. active dry yeast
1/4 cup (1/2 dl) water, warm
3/4 cup (1 3/4 dl) sugar
1 T sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
6 while cardamom seeds, crushed
7 cups flour
Scald milk. Add butter
and margarine and let stand until melted, and milk is
slightly cooled. Soften yeast in warm water with 1 tablespoon
of sugar added. In a large bowl add remaining sugar, salt,
and cardamom. Pour in lukewarm milk mixture. Add yeast,
and enough flour to make a stiff dough. Work thoroughly.
Place in a greased bowl. Cover and let rise until double
in bulk. Punch down and shape into balls--the size of
ping pong balls. Place 1 inch (2 1/2 cm) apart on a greased
baking sheet. Cover with tea towel and let rise until
double in bulk. Bake in 450 degrees F (230 degrees C)
oven for 5 minutes. (Yes, 5 minutes is right!) Brush with
butter while still hot.
