cardamom bun

Nordic aromatic roll

A cardamom bun is a sweet Scandinavian pastry flavored with ground cardamom, typically shaped in a knot or twist and topped with pearl sugar.

The spice gives the bread a warm, aromatic quality distinct from cinnamon rolls.

Swedish cafés serve them as a staple of *fika*, the traditional coffee break: We grabbed cardamom buns and coffee at the bakery.
