cardamom buns

Nordic cinnamon alternatives

Cardamom buns are sweet Scandinavian pastries flavored with ground cardamom, typically made from enriched yeast dough and shaped into twists or knots.

The warm, aromatic spice gives them a distinctive flavor different from cinnamon rolls, which they otherwise resemble.

Often topped with pearl sugar: We picked up cardamom buns at the Swedish bakery.
