Kardemummabullar directly translates from Swedish to Cardamom Buns. These are some of the staples of the Swedish pastries and usually enjoyed during Fika (which is the Swedish coffee break that's more about socializing than actually drinking coffee). There is another version of this pastry, very similar to Kardemummabullar, which is Kanelbullar- the same recipe but with cinnamon instead of cardamom. I haven't been to Sweden yet, but this buttery bun full of cardamom notes makes me feel like I'm in a coffee shop in Stockholm. They are super easy to make, and their knot shaping technique is so fun; you have to try it! Here I used ground cardamom, but if you don't have it, it is totally fine- just grind some cardamom pods. This recipe yields 12-14 Cardamom Buns.
