Ingredients
Dough
- 1 pkg dry yeast (sweet dough yeast is best)
- 2/3 cup butter
- 2 cup + 2 Tbsps milk
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tsps cardamom
- 5 1/2 cups flour
Topping
- 1 egg (beaten)
- Raisins
Instructions
Melt butter in a pot, let cool, and add milk.
Mix the flour, yeast, sugar, salt, cardamom, and turmeric in a bowl. Pour the milk stuff in and mix until the dough forms. Cover and let rise until double the size.
Knead the dough on a floured surface. Roll gently into a log and cut dough into bun sizes. Roll each piece out into 1/4-1/2inch links. Shape them into a double spiral and place on a baking sheet. Cover with plastic and let rise for 15 minutes. Glaze with a beaten egg and add a raisin in the center of each swirl.
Bake at 435°F for 5-8 minutes. Let them cool on a rack.
