Wil - I just finished making these. I’ve not made anything similar before and I had it penciled in for a weekend evening project. They are sublime. I’m so happy with how they’ve turned out I’m delivering samples to friends tomorrow morning. Thank you v much for sharing the recipe
This makes my day. Really, these messages, letting me know the recipe works as well for you as it does me, are the ones I really value so much..thanks Tom.
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.
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!
Very generous recipe sharing - thank you. I am constantly on the hunt for my favourite nordic bun recipe , so will give this a try, looks delish. I like that it's only for 8 buns too.. Thanks!

Wil. This is a gorgeous post. I’ve had fantasies about cardamon buns since a trip to Norway last year. Thanks for the recipe.
That's very kind, Clare, you're welcome. And thank you for reading.
Cinnamon and buns in the same sentence and you have my attention… then you added cardamom - bliss!
Thank you! I love these buns. the cardamom in sweet buns is such a defining part of Swedish food and I love it.

You're very welcome. I hope you enjoy it!
Considering baking these for friends without a private test run they sound so good & do-able.
