1/2 tsp cardamom
55g (3 tbsp) brown sugar

Step-by-Step Instructions

Warm the milk and honey in a bowl for 30 seconds to 1 minute (not too hot). Stir in the yeast and let it activate for 5-10 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cardamom, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and activated yeast mixture. Knead using a mixer or by hand for 5-10 minutes until smooth.

Grease a large bowl, place the dough inside, and cover with a damp towel. Let it rise for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.

Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Spread butter over it, then drizzle the pistachio creme filling evenly. Sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar.

Roll the dough tightly into a log, then slice into 8-10 equal pieces.

Arrange the buns in a baking dish, cover, and let them rise for 20-30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). Bake for 15-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Mix butter, cream cheese, vanilla, icing sugar, and pistachio spread until smooth.

Once the buns have cooled slightly, spread the pistachio frosting on top. Drizzle with extra pistachio creme and sprinkle chopped pistachios.
