Ingredients
Filling:
- 7/8 c butter, softened
- 1 1/4 c caster or granulated sugar
- 2 t ground cinnamon
Knutar:
- Scandinavian Cinnamon Buns dough
- all-purpose flour for dusting
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
Preparation
Make the filling by mixing together the butter, sugar and cardamom.
Divide the dough in half and roll each piece out on a floured work surface to make a 16 x 12 inch rectangle. Spread the cardamom filling lengthways over half of each rectangle. Fold the plain side over the filled, then cut crossways into 3/4-inch strips. Roll the strips of dough twice round your hand, then secure with the end, pulling it through the middle of the mass as you would a hank of leftover wool (this forms the "knot" shape). Place on baking sheets lined with baking parchment. Cover with tea towels and leave to rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°.
Brush with the egg and bake for 20-25 minutes, then leave the knots to cool on a wire rack.
