Best Cardamom Lime Sweet Rolls Recipes

GRANDMA GEORGIE'S CARDAMOM ROLLS

Steps:

• Cut the butter up into chunks, and place in a large mixing bowl. Pour the boiling water over the butter, and stir in the sugar, salt, and cardamom. Stir the mixture until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved, and let it cool down to about 105 degrees F/41 degrees C.
• Beat the yeast, eggs, and flour into the butter-sugar mixture to make a runny dough, lightly oil the top of the dough, and cover with a cloth. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Lightly grease a baking sheet, and set aside.
• Punch down the dough, and knead until soft and springy, about 12 minutes. Form the dough into golf ball-sized rolls, and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Let the rolls rise until double, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake the rolls in the preheated oven until the bottoms are browned and the tops are lightly golden, 12 to 15 minutes.

SWEDISH CARDAMOM ROLLS

Steps:

• Make dough:
• In a large bowl combine water, butter, and sugar. Sprinkle yeast over mixture and let stand 5 minutes, or until foamy. Stir in eggs, salt and dry milk until combined. With a wooden spoon stir in 5 sups flour, 1 cup at a time, and stir mixture until a dough is formed.
• On a floured surface, knead dough about 10 minutes, adding enough of the remaining 1 cup flour to make dough smooth and elastic. Put dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat, and let rise, covered with plastic wrap, in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• Punch down dough and on floured surface with a floured rolling pin roll into a 15- by 20-inch rectangle. Spread butter over dough and sprinkle with granulated sugar, cinnamon and cardamom.
• With a long side facing you, roll up dough jelly-roll fashion and cut crosswise into approximately 1 1/2-inch-thick slices with a cut side down. Working with 1 slice at a time gently twist opposite ends of slice around twice to form a figure eight. Crimp ends together. Arrange rolls, a swirled side up, on a buttered baking sheet about 2 inches apart and let rise in a warm place until increased 1 1/2 times in bulk, about 1 hour.
• While rolls are rising, preheat oven to 350F.
• Brush tops of rolls with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Bake rolls in middle of oven until tops are pale golden, about 25 minutes.

CARDAMOM SWEET ROLLS

Steps:

• Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water; stir to dissolve; set aside.
• Heat 1/2 cup milk in a small saucepan to just simmering; remove from the heat; add the 1/2 cup cut-up butter, stirring until melted; stir in 2 teaspoons of the cardamom, 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar and salt; allow the mixture to cool to warm.
• Pour the warm milk mixture into the large bowl of an electric mixer; add the yeast mixture then beat in the eggs one at a time; beat in 2 cups of the flour until smooth; add enough of the remaining flour to make the dough easy to handle.
• Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured board; knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes; place in a buttered bowl, turning to coat all sides with butter; cover, let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Heat oven to 350°; turn the dough out onto a floured board; roll with a rolling pin into an 18x12-inch rectangle; spread the 2 tablespoons of softened butter to within 1/2 inch of the edge of the dough; sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar combined with remaining 1/2 teaspoon cardamom.
• Roll the dough up tightly from the long side to form a cylinder; slice into 12 rolls.
• Place the cut rolls in a buttered 13x9 inch baking pan.
• Cover; let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes to an hour.
• Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes; remove from the oven and let stand 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, for glaze, combine confectioners' sugar, 1/4 cup milk, 2 tablespoons butter and vanilla; stir until smooth.
• Drizzle the glaze over the rolls and sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts.

CARDAMOM-LIME SWEET ROLLS

Steps:

• 1. To prepare dough, dissolve yeast in warm water in a small bowl; let stand 5 minutes.
• 2. Combine sour cream and next 5 ingredients (through egg) in a large bowl, stirring until well blended. Gradually stir yeast mixture into sour cream mixture. Lightly spoon 2 1/3 cups flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Add 2 cups flour to sour cream mixture, stirring to form a soft dough.
• 3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes); add enough of remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands (dough will feel slightly tacky).
• 4. Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in size. (Gently press two fingers into dough. If indentation remains, dough has risen enough.)
• 5. To prepare filling, combine brown sugar, rind, and cardamom. Divide dough into two equal portions. Working with 1 portion at a time, roll dough into a 12 x 10-inch rectangle; brush with 1 tablespoon butter. Sprinkle half of filling over dough. Beginning with a long side, roll up jelly-roll fashion; pinch seam to seal (do not seal ends of roll). Repeat procedure with remaining dough, 1 tablespoon butter, and filling. Cut each roll into 12 (1-inch) slices. Place slices, cut sides up, in a 13 x 9-inch baking pan coated with cooking spray. Cover and let rise 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
• 6. Preheat oven to 350°. Uncover dough. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool in pan 5 minutes on a wire rack.
• 7. To prepare glaze, combine powdered sugar and juice, stirring until smooth. Drizzle glaze over warm rolls. 4 points per roll
