Cardamom buns: one of those things I want to make all the time, but absolutely should not make all the time.
These are from a NYT Cooking recipe from Fabrique Artisan Bakery in NYC, and they test my self-control in a way few baked goods can. Warm, buttery, cardamom-y… I mean, come on.
Also: I used the FinaMill Battery Spice Grinder I got as a gift from my family to grind the decorticated cardamom and wow. Cardamom can be a bit of a beast to grind, and this made very quick work of it.
Anyway. There are cardamom buns in my kitchen now which feels both excellent and problematic.
