<\/a><\/p>\nCardamom\/cinnamon buns- these are the best I\u2019ve made in a long time!<\/p>\n
I let the dough raise in the cold garage overnight- so the flavor is not just in the spices.<\/p>\n
I\u2019d like to give you an exact recipe but I just used the dump and hand measures.<\/p>\n
It goes like this:<\/p>\n
Pour a largish amount of AP flour in a large bowl- about 4 1\/2 cups.<\/p>\n
Add about 1 1\/2 tsp of sea salt ( Pour into your cupped palm and fill the space that is<\/p>\n
deepest- twice). Sprinkle the top with about two tsp cardamom.<\/p>\n
Add a goodly cover of dried quick rise yeast on top \u2013 about 2 !\/2 tsp.<\/p>\n
Add about 1 cup dried milk- two\u00a0 cupped handfulls and stir \u2013 making a well in the<\/p>\n
center of your bowl.\u00a0 Beat up an egg with 3 tablespoons of melted butter, and pour into the well,<\/p>\n
mixi entire mixture up into a moistish dough- if it is too dry add more water- if it is wet add some more<\/p>\n flour and then knead about 5 minutes until it is smooth and pliant.\u00a0 Butter bowl,\u00a0 shape dough into a ball<\/p>\n and place in bowl, cover and leave in cool temperature- (45 degrees F or less) overnight.<\/p>\n In the morning, bring in and let warm up to room temp, then roll out dough into a largish rectangle, spread warmish butter<\/p>\n over the top and sprinkle with a cinnamon\/sugar\u00a0 mixture and fold dough over from the long sides and cut into<\/p>\n bars\u00a0 about1 1\/2 inches wide.\u00a0 Twist the bars then wrap around your fingers and tuck the ends through the\u00a0 hole that<\/p>\n results from wrapping them around your fingers.\u00a0 Place on parchment papered baking sheet and bake for<\/p>\n about 12-15 minutes at 375 degrees F.<\/p>\n While still warm spoon a sugar glaze on top.<\/p>\n This makes about 2 dozen buns.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And I made some bread for him to use as toast.\u00a0 He doesn\u2019t like fresh bread for his sandwiches but for toast- his favorite!<\/p>\n I also made some poppyseed rolls and twists.<\/p>\n So he has lots of sweets and a couple of pizzas that I made last night for supper and then froze the left over<\/p>\n pieces for him to take for lunch.<\/p>\n We had snowfall last night so the view out my windows went from this-<\/p>\n to this-<\/p>\n and this- I probably won\u2019t be posting for the next week or so- but rest assured- I\u2019m taking pictures and having a marvelous<\/p>\n time with 2 little boys!<\/p>\n May your next week be one of great joy as well!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u2019m going to Long Island tomorrow for a week of little boys and much fun with my daughter in law, Willow.\u00a0 Luke is off visiting churches and going on youth trips- so I get to spend time with his family … Continue reading <\/a>ng just a little with the flour .\u00a0 Then add about 1 1\/2 cups of very hot water and stir the<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
