ingredients (6 pieces):

Buns:

  • 10 g yeast

  • 1 dl milk

  • 30 g butter, melted

  • 1.5 tbsp sugar

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • 1 tsp ground cardamom 

  • 3 dl flour

Icing:

  • 2 dl icing sugar 

  • 0.5 tsp vanilla

  • 2 tbsp milk

  • 6 Maraschino Cherries

How to:

Buns:

Crumble the yeast into a bowl, then warm the milk in a small pot to 37C, before pouring it over the yeast. Add butter, sugar, salt, cardamom and almost all the flour. Work the dough until a smoothie ball and let it rest with some plastic wrap over for 30 minutes.

Put you dough onto a well floured work surface and divide it into 6 pieces. Shape them into balls and put them on a lined baking sheet to rest for another 30 minutes under a kitchen towel.

Turn oven to 225C. 

Brush the buns with an egg wash and put them in the middle of the oven for 8-10 minutes. 

Let cool on a rack.

Frosting: 

Mix the sugar and vanilla in a bowl, and add the milk little bit at a time. When you have the consistency you like, dip the rolls into the bowl and let them dry on the rack again. Top them of with a nice cherry.
