Cardamom Butter Rolls

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cardamom Butter Rolls.

1. Step 1

   Start by cutting the butter into chunks and placing it in a large mixing bowl. Pour the boiling water over the butter, allowing it to melt beautifully. Stir in the sugar, salt, and fragrant cardamom until everything is well combined and the butter has melted completely. Let this mixture cool down to a warm 105°F (41°C).

2. Step 2

   Once cooled, it's time to bring the dough to life! Beat in the yeast, slightly beaten eggs, and flour into the buttery mixture. You'll want to create a runny dough that’s full of promise. Lightly oil the top of the dough, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot until it doubles in size—this should take about 1.5 hours.

3. Step 3

   While the dough is rising, lightly grease a baking sheet and set it aside, ready for the rolls to come.

4. Step 4

   After the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air, then knead it for about 12 minutes until it feels soft and springy. Now, shape the dough into golf ball-sized rolls and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Cover them again and let them rise until they double in size, which will take about 1 hour.

5. Step 5

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the rolls have risen beautifully, pop them into the oven and bake until the bottoms are golden brown and the tops are lightly golden, about 12 to 15 minutes. The aroma will be irresistible!
