Cardamom Rolls
I've started baking from a charming cookbook called Swedish Cakes and Cookies. It was a Christmas gift from Giles to Bella last year and is full of wonderful things.
These are Cardamom Rolls. Cardamom is not a spice I've used much of--it's so expensive! But I got some at an ethnic market for a reasonable price and used a lot of it in these beauties!
There's cardamom in the dough, and then the filling is almond paste, butter, and more cardamom. So fragrant.

Thats funny! I got that very same book from a swedish friend last august as a wedding present! I haven´t had a chance to try any recipe yet,but my husband is most eagerly anticipating it :-) Glad to know the cardamom rolls are a good place to start!
They sound amazing. I'm surprised that cinnamon (or cardamom) rolls haven't taken off in Australia, they look so good! I don't suppose you know of a good gluten and dairy free recipe...?
It was cardamom that led me to purchase a mortal and pestle. Fresh ground cardamom is like nothing else!
Now I use the mortar and pestle for things I would have never imagined...
like bashing open a bulb of garlic and easing the cloves right out of their skins.
These rolls are beautiful and will likely make it onto the coming week's menu.
I want the cookbook. Is the author Melody Favish? TIA!
That's right, YayaOrchid.
Thank you so much for your reply Anna! I will be ordering it. I just received the Vintage Cakes book inspired by all your wonderful creations. FYI I should tell you that I have been for about three years, ever since my shoulder surgery and more recently my carpel tunnel release surgery, very uninspired and slack in doing anything creative. But I knew that if I immersed myself in your blog I would again feel the spark and joy of being creative. At least I feel the beginnings of a spark of wanting to create beauty in my home again. You should know that your blog is a great blessing to me!
