Don't shy away from cardamom!!!! it's your friend. Not many people know its in the ginger family, it's strong! and earthy, and slightly citrus in taste. That 1/2 tea. really make these pop! Make sure you butter and eggs are at room temperature. Forgot to take them out of the fridge? Just pop them on top of a pre-heating oven for 30 min. Active dry yeast works just great if you don't have cake yeast. Made this spur of the moment when I just wanted to bake something quick and easy. Also: I will always substitute a light brown sugar for white granulated sugar in regards to dough . But thats just me.
Very good, fast and easy recipe. Substituted 2 packages of dry yeast instead of cake yeast. Definitely will make this recipe again. Did not use cardamom, as I did not have any. Added sugar glaze when the rolls were cool. Next time will try spreading on the butter and sprinkle on the sugar and cinnamon.
Instead of making rolls for this recipe, I decided to save a little time by rolling out the dough, adding the filling inside, and then braiding the bread by cutting the sides of the dough a third of the way in on each side and alternately folding each side to the middle. I also drizzled an orange glaze over the top of the bread after it was done baking: 2 Tbls 1/2 & 1/2, 2 Tbls orange juice, zest from 1 orange, and powdered sugar until desired consistency. The result is a blend of cardamom and orange heaven and a beautifully browned loaf that is sure to impress.
Delicious! Turned out delightfully fluffy. Creamed the liquid ingredients, including the butter, before adding flour. Used two packets of instant yeast in place of cake yeast (cake is near impossible to find)and let that sit for about 15 minutes before adding to liquid ingredients. End result was a tender, fluffy crumb and delicate flavor. Oh! Also I doubled the filling, worked great!
verry good!!! double the filling, wasnt enough for me.. also, when u decrease the temp to 350, only bake for 8 more min..PERFECTION!!
This recipe is a keeper. The cardamom is there but subtle; there's not an overwhelming sweetness but a great balance of sweet combined with the softness of the breading/dough. Using cake yeast is a bit expensive (first time I've purchased it) but well worth it; it makes the dough's texture distinct when biting into it. I've never bought a cinnamon roll/snail this good. Really.
I just baked these rolls and they are very nice. They were easy to prepare and came out very light and fluffy. I followed the recipe exactly, except I lessen the cinnamon a bit. I made a basic icing from warm milk and powered sugar. Everyone here really enjoyed them with hot tea.
Mine didn't come out quite so pretty since I had a bit of trouble layering the two sheets of dough. Perhaps next time I'll simply roll them each on their own to get prettier results. The taste was great! It was fun making them and they made the kitchen smell divine. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
The coffee shop in my town sells cinnamon rolls with cardamom, and I am obsessed! My grandma has made cardamom cookies at Christmas my whole life, and I love that flavor. I wanted to try these for so long, and they are amazing. Next time I will double the filling and bake them in round pans instead of on cookie sheets so they don't flatten out too much and all the gooey yumminess stays in the pan. I drizzled a glaze of orange juice and powdered sugar over the top. Delicious. My daughter had fun using a thread to cut the rolls. These are definitely going to be one of our house specialties. I used just one package of regular yeast and they turned out fine.
I thought it would taste like a typical cinnamon roll but it wasn't very sweet and didn't have much cinnamon flavor either. The bread also was a little dense although I did like the cardamom. I thought something with 2 sticks of butter in it would taste a little richer...
