In my make everything from scratch era!!

It's not a mid-@week reset without the scent of these filling the kitchen. 🤍

As a fellow introvert, I live for the simple routine of baking and waiting for these to cool. They taste like peace!

The quick steps are below:

Ingredients

For the dough:

250 ml whole milk (lukewarm)

75 g unsalted butter (melted, cooled slightly)

50 g caster sugar

7 g dried yeast (1 packet)

½ tsp salt

450 g strong white bread flour (plus extra for dusting)

1 tsp freshly ground cardamom (about 10 green pods, seeds crushed)

For the filling:

75 g unsalted butter (softened)

50 g light brown sugar

2 tsp freshly ground cardamom

For the topping:

1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)

Pearl sugar (or crushed sugar cubes, Swedish-style)

Baking:

Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan).

Brush buns with beaten egg and sprinkle generously with pearl sugar.

Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown.

The dough is simple, fact that these buns are made with love is what makes them 10/10.

Best paired with strong coffee and soft music (Hello, Olivia Dean 😉).
