Method

1

Make an enriched yeast dough using milk, flour, sugar, cardamom, egg, and butter. Let rise for 1.5–2 hours.

2

Divide into 12–16 pieces and shape into smooth buns. Let proof for 40–60 minutes.

3

Brush with egg wash and bake at 220°C (425°F) for 8–12 minutes. Let cool.

4

Finely grind the almonds and mix with sugar and milk to form a smooth paste.

5

Cut the tops off the buns, hollow out a bit of the crumb, mix the crumb into the almond paste, and stuff the buns.

6

Whip the cream with powdered sugar, pipe it over the filling, put the lids back on, and dust with powdered sugar.
