Swedish Cinnamon Rolls

The basic recipe for "Kanelbullar" that I got from alltommat.se.



Ingredients:
1 1/4 cup milk
1/2 oz dry yeast
3 1/2 oz butter/margarine
3 3/4 cups flour (540g)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cardamom

2 oz butter/margarine
3 tbs sugar
3 tbs cinnamon

1. Warm the milk to slightly above room temperature, pour in yeast and let sit for 15 minutes.
2. Mix in 3 1/2 oz of butter.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, sugar, salt and cardamom.
4. A little bit at a time, mix the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients together. Mix and knead until a smooth, soft, consistency.
5. Let rise for half an hour.
6. Roll out dough with rolling pin into a rectangle, making sure it is at least a foot wide.
7. Spread out the remaining butter on the dough, and sprinkle with the sugar and cinnamon.
8. Roll up the dough into a log, long ways, and cut into two inch pieces.
9. Preheat oven to 480 degrees Fahrenheit
10. Place the pieces on a greased cookie sheet, cover, and let rise another 30 minutes.
11. Bake for 7-10, or until golden brown. You can spread beaten egg on top of the rolls before placing them in the oven, if you choose, as well as "pearl sugar," if you can find it. If not, after the buns are done baking, you can sprinkle the top with powdered sugar or sugar glaze.
