  1. Crumble the yeast into a mixing bowl and add the milk. Stir until the yeast dissolves.
  2. Add syrup, cardamom, butter and two-thirds of the flour. Work the dough until smooth and shiny.
  3. Add salt and additional flour and knead the dough until it comes away from the sides of the bowl. Cover and let rise until doubled in size, 20–30 minutes.
  4. Mix together butter, sugar and cinnamon for the filling.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth. Divide the dough into two pieces. Roll each piece into a rectangular shape. Spread the filling on top. Roll up and cut into pieces. Cover with a cloth and let rise for 30 minutes.
  6. Set the oven to 250 degrees.
  7. Brush the buns with beaten egg and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
  8. Bake the cinnamon rolls in the middle of the oven for 8–10 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
