It never ceases to intrigue me how the US, which basically runs on pumpkin pie spices, aren't all over cardamom. poo poo is good.

Tip: pound whole green pods in pestle and mortar, sift. Easy, fresh, hyperaromatic cardamom. Now go make some buns.

dang I've wanted to make cardamom buns for a bit, didn't know that was already a thing. :hellyeah:

A thing? It's what we practically subside on.

1 litre sifted cake flour, 3.5 dl whole milk (don't be an rear end in a top hat, bake with proper milk), heaped teaspoon fresh ground cardamom, 100g butter, 1dl sugar, 25g yeast, 1 egg.

Melt butter with cardamom to infuse, add milk, heat slowly until body heat.

Sift flour minus about 0.5 - 1dl into bowl, mix with sugar. Crack egg into warm milk, whisk together with yeast. Mix dough, rise for 1 hour, stir up and knead in remaining flour until dough is barely firm, proof again half hour.

Don't use too much flour.

Roll 20 or so buns, proof for 20-30 minutes more, bake at 250C for 7-8 minutes until evenly light brown.

Don't keep all that well, which won't be a problem. Can be split and toasted. Awesome with butter, cheese, preserves.

Most recipes use 1.25 dl sugar instead of mine which uses 1dl. That's because it's my mum's recipe and she makes the best there are. Other peoples buns (heeehe) are way too sweet, and also dry because they add too much flour. Even if the dough seems "impossible", the fat is gonna help you a long way. Remember, the less flour used, the better they will be.

Note: this dough is great for cinnamon rolls.

I really like cardamom, but in moderation only. There is such a thing as too much cardamom.

I think you are wrong on this one. As far as I know, they two are separate varieties.

How about a pastry bag?

EDIT: Wikipedia says

quote:

The two main genera of the ginger family named as forms of cardamom are distributed as follows:

Elettaria (commonly called cardamom, green cardamom, or true cardamom) is distributed from India to Malaysia. It is a cool spice with a distinctly minty aroma. It is beneficial in treatment of common illnesses.
Amomum (commonly known as black cardamom, brown cardamom, kravan, Java cardamom, Bengal cardamom, Siamese cardamom, white cardamom, or red cardamom) is distributed mainly in Asia and Australia. It is a hot spice and has antiseptic qualities too.

Pour heavy cream and a little cultured buttermilk in squeeze bottle. Loosely cover and leave on your counter until you have sour cream.

It's kind of like getting a ship into a bottle.

Lay out 2-3 sheets of plastic wrap flat onto your counter.
Plop a bunch of mayo right in the middle.
Gather the whole thing up so that you have a gross ball of mayo wrapped up in plastic wrap.
Poke a small hole in the bottom of it with a paring knife.
Squeeze out the mayo into the squeeze bottle with your gross lovely piping bag.

If you want to make an �bleskive with your �bleskive jern, then you need kardemomme in those fuckers otherwise it won't be an �bleskive, and your visitors will think less of your �bleskiver, an thereby your household, even if you serve them with flormelis.

Nah, no need. Just use real saffron and no substitute bullshit.

The reason we call your languages "Moon Language", is because if you've grown only speaking/seeing English, your spellings look completely unpronounceable.

I mean, look at this poo poo: "�bleskive". To me, that is every bit as incomprehensible as "sk�rv�r�rk�nnkn�jln�l�"

I'm sure it wouldn't take long to learn the phonetics, but GWS is the only place I'm ever exposed to it.

I haven't worked with mace at all but by that flavor description I may need to start. My newest cookie spice is cardamom - I found a pistachio/cardamom sugar cookie recipe that very quickly made its way onto my every-year Christmas baking list.

Post the cookie recipe plz.
