Swedish Cinnamon Buns

Hello everyone. I’m back with my kitchen diaries and today, I’m going to share to you a famous Northern European delicacy, truly a Scandinavian confectionery. Although it’s been baked all over the world but I have never enjoyed it as good as the Swedish Kanelbullar. I got this recipe from my Swedish family and apparently, it’s a very old receipt. Hope you enjoy!





Swedish Cinnamon Buns

Ingredients:
 50 g yeast
100 g butter
2 dl milk + 2 dl water
1½ sugar
1 egg
1 tsp ground cardamom
½ tsp baking powder
16- 17 dl flour

Cinnamon Buns Filling:
100 g butter
1 dl sugar
2 tbsp cinnamon

For glazing:
1 beaten egg
pearl sugar (optional)

Method:
1) Crumble yeast in a bowl and mix with melted butter, add milk and water. Add sugar, egg, cardamom, baking powder and flour.
2) Knead the dough for approximately 10-15 minutes. Let the dough rise while covered at room temperature for a minimum of 30 minutes.
3) Roll out the dough about 3mm thick and 30 cm wide. Spread butter on top. Mix sugar and cinnamon, spread it on top of the dough.
4) Roll the dough and cut into slices and place upward in muffin liners. Place the cinnamon buns in an oven safe/ baking tray. Cover with cloth and let rise for about 60 minutes or until the buns have doubled in size.
5) Brush the top with beaten egg mixture and sprinkle sugar pearls.
6) Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes at 225 degrees Celsius. Let it cool before serving.

Enjoy! :)
