Time 55m

Yield 4 coffeecakes

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 tablespoons butter
2 cups milk
1 (2-ounce) yeast cake
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
6 cups flour
6 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped or ground almonds
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup pearl sugar
1/2 cup chopped almonds

Steps:

  • Melt butter in saucepan. Add milk and remove from heat. Crumble yeast into a large mixing bowl. In a small bowl, mix together sugar and cardamom. Add sugar cardamom mixture to the yeast and add milk mixture. Stir in the flour a little at a time and work dough until smooth and shiny. Cover and let rise for 10 minutes.
  • To make the filling, combine butter, sugar, cinnamon and nuts.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Turn dough out onto a board and knead well. Divide into 4 parts. Roll each piece into a 14 by 8-inch rectangle. Spread with filling. Roll up from the long side and place on a baking sheet. Clip each at 1-inch intervals with a scissors held perpendicular to the top. Pull each cut out to the sides, alternately, to make a pattern exposing the filling. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with pearl sugar and chopped almonds.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Do not overbrown
