Grandma's korvapuusti

Juicy korvapuusti (Finnish cinnamon buns) fragrant with cardamom are a classic of Finnish baking. The secret of success is a soft dough and a patient rise.

You will need

• 5 dl milk
• 50 g fresh yeast (or 2 sachets of dried yeast)
• 1 egg + 1 for brushing
• 2 dl sugar
• 1 tbsp ground cardamom
• 1 tsp salt
• approx. 14 dl wheat flour
• 150 g soft butter
• Filling: 100 g butter, 1 dl sugar, 2 tbsp cinnamon
• Pearl sugar

Steps

1. Warm the milk

   Warm the milk until lukewarm, about 37 °C. Milk that is too hot kills the yeast.

2. Mix the dough

3. Add the butter

4. Let it rise

5. Roll out and fill

6. Roll up and cut

7. Second rise

8. Bake
