Cardamom buns

Recipe by Caroline’s Cooking

I made Cardamom buns!

I first had these at a local bakery in September and I’ve wanted to make them ever since.

These are actually very easy to make. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m used to the baking process or what, but I think everyone could make them.

Process-

This starts out like any bread type recipe. You bloom the yeast, add in dry ingredients and then knead the dough. I used my stand mixer to knead the dough. You then let it rise. My kitchen is cold so I warmed my oven to 200 degrees, then turned it off and put the dough in there to rise.

After that, you roll the dough out into a square, spread the butter mixture, fold, cut and then roll the dough. Then let it rise another 30 minutes. After that pop them in the oven for 12ish minutes and you are done!

Taste-

Mannnnnn these are so soft and moist and full of cardamom. You can taste all of the things! Sugar, cardamom and butter. There was also some crystalized sugar on the bottom of the buns that added some crisp to the bun too. I added some freeze dried raspberries for color and a zing!

Random Thoughts-

What the hell is happening in our country right now? I’m shocked, sad, and scared by everything.

Taylor and I started The Wire. In film school I was told to watch it once a week and I never did. It is an incredible story. It weaves in and out of people’s lives faultlessly. Watch people.

I’m loving my lights. Now that I have a basic understanding of how everything works I get to play around with them and get creative.

Ok that’s it.
