I was introduced to Finnish cardamom bread and rolls in the Pac NW on the Long Beach Pennisula. There was a large community of Fins living there farming and fishing in the 1970s. ( I haven't been back in a long time so not sure it's the same) I would always buy the cardamom bread and rolls at the church sales. THANK YOU, for this recipe. I'm definitely going to give it a try!

Considering baking these for friends without a private test run they sound so good & do-able.

I experienced my first fika and cardamom bun in Sweden last year when my best girlfriend flew from the US to meet me in Stockholm. All societies should incorporate fika in their daily lives. I have made the buns since, but getting the knots right was above my skill level. I’ll try yours and try the braid method. Thanks.
