Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup milk
- 50 grams margarine
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cardamom
- 100 -150 grams plain flour
- Butter (for brushing)
Instructions:
-
Preparation: Start by heating the milk until it reaches a lukewarm temperature.
-
Activate Yeast: In a mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk, ensuring it’s well combined.
-
Combine Ingredients: To the yeast mixture, add in the egg, sugar, salt, and cardamom, stirring until fully incorporated.
-
Form Dough: Gradually add enough flour to form a thick mixture. Beat the mixture until it becomes shiny.
-
Kneading: Integrate the remaining flour into the dough, kneading it by hand until it reaches a smooth and elastic consistency. Reserve some flour for shaping the buns.
-
Incorporate Fat: Add the softened margarine into the dough, continuing to knead until it no longer sticks to your hands and the edges of the bowl.
-
Proofing: Cover the bowl with a clean towel and place it in a warm, draft-free spot. Allow the dough to double in bulk, indicating that it has risen adequately.
-
Shaping Buns: Once the dough has risen, transfer it onto a floured surface. Shape it into small, round buns, ensuring they are uniform in size for even baking.
-
Egg Wash: Brush the risen buns with beaten egg, which will give them a glossy finish when baked.
-
Sweeten: Sprinkle the buns generously with sugar, adding a delightful sweetness to each bite.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 225°C (437°F). Place the buns in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and are fully cooked through.
-
Cooling: Once baked, remove the buns from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Cover them with a clean towel to retain their moisture as they cool down.
Enjoy these aromatic and flavorful sweet buns for breakfast or as a delicious treat any time of the day. They’re perfect for sharing with friends and family, and with their quick preparation time, you can whip up a batch whenever the craving strikes!
