Ingredients

For the dough

  • 225 ml (0.95 cup) milk
  • 75 g (2.64oz) butter
  • 300 g (10.5oz) plain white flour sifted
  • 125 g (4.4oz) whole-wheat flour sifted
  • 1 tsp ground cardamom
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 tsp fast action yeast
  • 1 egg beaten

For the filling

  • 75 g (2.64oz) butter softened
  • 50 g (1.8oz) caster sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cardamom
  • 1/2 tsp salt

To finish

  • 1 egg beaten
  • 2-3 tbsp demerara sugar

Instructions

  • Heat the milk in a saucepan with the butter till it is almost boiling, switch off and let cool.
  • Mix all the dry ingredients for the dough in a large bowl and make a well in the centre. Pour in the cooled milk mixture and egg and mix until it forms a dough.
  • Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and leave to rise in a warm place for about 30 mins.
  • Whilst the dough is rising make the filling by mixing all the ingredients together until well combined.
  • Oil 2 twelve cup silicon muffin cases and set them aside.
  • Split the dough in half, cover one half with a kitchen cloth and roll the other half out into a 25cm X 12cm rectangle.
  • Spread half the filling over the dough, ten roll the dough from one of the long edges into a long cylinders (kind of like a Swiss roll) and seal the edges with water.
  • Use a sharp non-serrated knife (or dental floss) to cut the dough log into 12 even pieces, and place each piece flat in a muffin cup. Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 30 mins until doubled.
  • Repeat the process for the second ball of dough.
  • Preheat the oven to fan-assisted 180C / 200C / 400F / gas 6.
  • Glaze the buns, sprinkle on some sugar and bake for 12-15 mins until golden brown. Leave them to cool for a little while before serving.

Notes

You might need to bake these in 2 batches if your oven in not big enough to take them in one go.
