These Orange Cardamom Buns will fill your house with the gorgeous smell of cardamom and orange zest. A wonderful treat for cold winter days.
Do you know the best way to turn a chilly, snowy day into a wonderful day?
Bake these Orange Cardamom Buns, of course. The baking spice smell permeates the whole house so after a trip outside to do a school run, go to work, or go for a walk and collect some logs (for those of us in the countryside), you step back into your kitchen and get that spice hit all over again. Absolute bliss.
It gets even better when the Orange Cardamom Buns have finished baking and it’s time to dig in. Freshly baked Orange Cardamom Buns sliced in half, topped with jam, butter or honey and served with your beverage of choice. (Curling up in front of the hot wood-burning stove optional but highly recommended.)
So let’s make some Orange Cardamom Buns.
How to Make Orange Cardamom Buns Step by Step
Step 1. In a jug, mix butter, milk and maple syrup.
Step 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, cardamom, orange zest and salt.
Step 3. Make a hole in the dry ingredients and pour in the liquid.
Step 4. Mix until a dough has formed.
Step 5. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5 mins.
Step 6. Place the dough back in the bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size (45 mins – 1hr).
Step 7. Then tip the dough back onto the floured surface, knead it again and then shape it into 16 cardamom buns.
Step 8. Transfer the shaped cardamom buns unto a lined baking tray, cover and let rise for 25 mins.
Step 9. Preheat the oven to fan-assisted 180C / 200C / 400F / Gas 6.
Step 10. Glaze each bun with the egg and bake for 20-22 mins until done.
When your lovely cardamom rolls come out of the oven, slice them and serve. (See my ‘Orange Cardamom Buns – Tips’ section below for serving ideas.)
Orange Cardamom Buns – Tips
- Whilst they taste sooo good served fresh, they still taste lovely when reheated.
- Serve with your beverage of choice. Plain coffee with sugar and splash of a2 Milk™, or luxurious hot chocolate.
- Orange Cardamom Buns can also be served plain. I sometimes skip the toppings and enjoy the wonderful flavour of cardamom rolls on their own. There is nothing plain about the flavours of orange zest and cardamom.
- This is a fun recipe for kids. My kiddoes love helping me make these so much that I tend to have an oversupply whenever I make them… which is only a good thing.
