Absolutely Outstanding Buns! If I could give this recipe 10 stars, I would. Because of the differences in flours from one location to another I did adjust the flour liquid ratio, reduced the milk to 300 ml, and increased the wheat flour by about 100 ml. I also used a ready prepared whipped cream(aka.coolwhip) because I already had it on hand. I love the warm sweet flavor and scent of cardamom. I will not hesitate to use this bun recipe for a regular dinner roll as well. The only thing I need to do is practice shaping buns. Mine tend to look like someone's kneecaps.:) Thank you Hedi for a wonderful recipe!

I do enjoy cooking, and even more for a special person. On my quest for culinary knowledge and skills I try to learn about different nations cuisines and learn different cooking techniques. Hopefully I can use these skills when serving my husband and the Lord!
