Prepare the Dough:
- In a small bowl, dissolve the dry yeast in warm milk and let it sit for a few minutes until frothy.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the butter, margarine, sugar, salt, and cardamom until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the yeast mixture to the creamed ingredients, stirring well.
- Slowly incorporate the flour, one cup at a time, until a smooth dough forms.
-
Rise and Shape:
- Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
- Once risen, divide the dough into approximately 40 pieces and shape each into round rolls.
- Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each roll to expand.
- Allow the rolls to rise for an additional 30 minutes.
-
Bake the Rolls:
- Preheat your oven to 225°C (450°F).
- Bake the rolls for 5-10 minutes or until they turn golden brown and are baked through.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
-
Toast the Skorpor:
- Once cooled, carefully slice each roll in half horizontally.
- Place the halves on a baking sheet and return them to the oven preheated to 225°C (450°F) for another 5-10 minutes, or until lightly toasted.
-
Dry the Skorpor:
- Lower the oven temperature to 100°C (212°F).
- Transfer the toasted skorpor to a clean baking sheet and dry them in the oven for about 1-1.5 hours, or until they are crispy and dry.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once dried, allow the skorpor to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
