by marie


(24 trays)

In a measuring cup mix 60 g  of sugar, one glass of milk and one glass of cream, as well as a crumbled yeast cube  and let it stand for 15 minutes.
In the meantime, grind two teaspoons of cardamom and mix with 550 g of flour, 60 g of sugar, one pinch of salt and then add the yeast milk.
Add two eggs and 120 g of butter and knead everything to a dough.
Let the dough rest until it has doubled (about three hours).
Mix 80 g of melted butter with 160 g of sugar and four teaspoons of grounded cinnamon.
Roll out one third of the dough (40 x 30 cm) on a floured work surface and brush with one third of the sugar mass.
Roll up from the long side and cut into 5 cm long pieces.
Place the rolls on a baking paper lined tray, press them in the middle with a knife handle, then let the roles rest overnight.
Brush the rolls with a whisked egg and bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 25 minutes.
