Indulge in the delightful flavors of Sweden with these aromatic Kardemummabullar, also known as Swedish cardamom buns. With their soft, pillowy texture and fragrant aroma of cardamom, these buns are a beloved treat enjoyed throughout Sweden, especially during fika, the Swedish coffee break tradition.
The recipe begins with a simple dough made from flour, milk, butter, sugar, yeast, and ground cardamom. After proofing and rolling out the dough, a luscious filling of butter, sugar, and more cardamom is spread generously before the dough is rolled up and cut into individual pieces.
Once shaped, the buns are left to rise again before being baked to golden perfection. A finishing touch of pearl sugar adds a delightful crunch to the top of each bun, though it’s optional if unavailable.
These Kardemummabullar are not only a delight for the taste buds but also a feast for the senses, filling your kitchen with the irresistible scent of freshly baked bread and cardamom. Whether enjoyed alongside a steaming cup of coffee or savored on their own, these Swedish cardamom buns are sure to become a cherished favorite in your baking repertoire.
