["Preheat oven to 210C.", "Mix milk, sugar, salt, yeast, cardamom and egg yolks together.", "Add the flour gradually and butter until mixed and uniform.", "The mix needs to be handling grade so add some more flour if necessary.", "You don't want it too stiff though as this will make for tough buns.", "Leave the mix in the bowl until it rises.", "Pat the mix down until it 'deflates' and let it rise again.", "Letting it rise twice makes for 'lighter' buns :) Time to rise depends on the temperature of the room in which you do it.", "Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface/board so it doesn't stick.", "Cut the mix amount in half to make it easier to handle.", "Roll mix out to about 1-1.5cm thick and spread with soft butter, sprinkle with cinnamon, cardamom and sugar.", "Spread as much butter as you would on a sandwich on the dough.", "Put the spices on so that they cover the dough all over, especially the edges.", "You should put on a good amount as the dough will be relatively thick once cooked.", "Roll the dough up and cut individual buns into 'triangles' with the tops cut off, don't make the tops too narrow.", "Make the bottoms approx 7.5cm/3"

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
