👨🍳 Zubereitung
- 1
In a bowl, dissolve the yeast and 1 tbsp of sugar in the lukewarm milk. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- 2
Add the beaten egg, melted butter, remaining sugar, salt, and cardamom to the yeast mixture. Gradually add the flour and mix until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- 3
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- 4
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round bun and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rise for another 15-20 minutes.
- 5
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Brush the tops of the buns with the beaten egg.
- 6
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let the buns cool completely on a wire rack.
- 7
To prepare the filling, whip the heavy cream with sugar and vanilla sugar until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
- 8
Once the buns are cool, carefully slice off the top third of each bun. Scoop out a little of the soft interior to create a well. Fill generously with the whipped cream mixture. You can also add a spoonful of jam or almond paste before the cream.

Replace the tops of the buns and dust generously with powdered sugar before serving.
