PREPARATION

Heat the milk to lukewarm. Beat the egg with a little lukewarm milk. Pour the mixture back into the pan and whisk well. Add the sugar, salt and cardamom and mix well.

Mix the yeast with the flour. Put a little flour mixture into the pan and whisk well so much air into the dough. Beat in the flour mixture to start with a whisk by. Stir when the mixture is too stiff on with a wooden spoon. Finally, add the butter and knead it with your hands thoroughly mixed into the dough to everything.

Knead the dough for 10 minutes on a lightly dusted work surface or until the dough is elastic and no longer sticky. If necessary, add a little flour. Put the dough in a bowl and cover with a tea towel. Let rise for 1 hour in a warm place, or until the dough has doubled in volume.

TIP

You may be replaced by cinnamon cardamom or other spices and so you always have a nice and new variation.

For less intense flavour of cardamom use either a ground cardamom.
