Kardemummabullar

This is the kind of Scandinavian breakfast you’ll make on repeat — all-purpose flour and milk, 150 minutes, big payoff. Each serving lands at 720 calories with 14g of protein, so it eats like a much heavier meal. Naturally vegetarian, it scales cleanly if you are cooking for more than one.

Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Milk
• 1/2 cup Butter
• 1/2 cup Sugar
• 2 tsp Active dry yeast
• 4 tbsp Cardamom
• 1/4 cup Pearl sugar

Steps

1. Crush the cardamom seeds fresh — pre-ground cardamom is a pale ghost of the real thing.
2. Knead the dough with half the cardamom; rise 1 hour.
3. Roll out, butter, and blanket with the remaining cardamom-sugar; fold like a letter and cut into strips.
4. Tie each strip into the classic knot and proof 30 minutes.
5. Brush with egg, sprinkle pearl sugar, and bake at 425°F for 10–12 minutes; the kitchen should smell like a Stockholm bakery.
