Instructions
Heat the milk and the ground cardamom to 37 °C.
Crumble the yeast into a mixing bowl and pour in the milk. Add the saffron, sugar, syrup, salt, eggs and room-temperature butter.
Work in the flour gradually to make a smooth dough.
Leave to rise until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
Divide the dough into two and roll each piece out into a rectangle.
Mix in all the ingredients for the filling. Spread half of the filling mixture over the rectangle and roll up along the long edge.
Cut into 3-4 cm slices and place into the prepared bun tins. Do the same with the remaining half. Leave to rise for 20-30 minutes.
Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with nib sugar.
Bake in the centre of the oven at 200 °C for 10-15 minutes.
To serve
The buns are best eaten straight from the oven, but you can also freeze them once cool. Defrost and warm them up in the oven before serving.
