SOFT & FLUFFY CINNAMON BUNS
These are magically delicious and so soft – it’s hard to stop at just one..

Recipe ????????

Filling:
• 250 g room temperature butter
• 1 dl brown sugar
• 1 dl granulated sugar
• 5 tsp ground cinnamon
• 2 tsp cornstarch

Dough:
• 50 g fresh yeast
• 500 g milk (5 dl)
• 2 tsp ground cardamom
• 250 g butter
• 200 g granulated sugar (2 dl)
• 1 kg all-purpose flour (16.5 dl)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 egg, a pinch of salt and a splash of water for brushing
• Pearl sugar for topping

Sugar Syrup:
• 2 dl water
• 2 dl granulated sugar

Instructions:
Take everything out in good time, preferably 2–3 hours before, so that all ingredients are at room temperature, because we are NOT melting the butter. That’s the secret to soft buns.
• Mix together all the ingredients for the filling.
• Crumble the yeast into a bowl and add the milk. Stir until the yeast is completely dissolved.
• Then add cardamom, sugar and half of the flour. Work into a sticky dough, then add the salt and more flour as needed.
• Knead well for at least 10 minutes.
• Spread the filling evenly over the entire dough.
• Place the buns on baking trays lined with parchment paper, with some space between them. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for 2–3 hours.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (top and bottom heat).
Whisk together the egg, a pinch of salt and a little water for brushing, then brush the buns.
Top with pearl sugar.
Bake in the middle of the oven for about 15 minutes.

Sugar Syrup: Mix the water and sugar together.
