Where it comes from

Most cardamom buns are made with yeast and take an afternoon. Mine are made with sourdough and take two days. The overnight ferment is what gives them the flavour, and it is why they are still good the next morning.

The cardamom is ground the day I bake. Nothing else about them is complicated — flour, butter, cardamom, time.

This is the one I want to be known for.

Ingredients

sourdough starter, flour, oat milk, butter, cardamom, pearl sugar

Allergens

Written about

Why cardamom is in everythingA Swedish bun recipe asks for an amount of cardamom that reads like a misprint. Where the habit came from is less settled than the stories suggest.
Why the buns take two daysA starter instead of commercial yeast, and a night in the cold. Neither is a flourish. Both are doing work that cannot be done faster.
Shaping kardemummabullarThe knot is the part everyone gets wrong, and most of the advice about it is bakers' lore rather than anything anyone has measured. Here is which is which.
