▢ Heat the milk until it's lukewarm.
Add the yeast and dissolve.
▢ Add the sugar, cardamom, vanilla, and about 2/3 of the flour.
▢ Mix the dough together either by hand or in a mixer with a dough hook, slowly adding the rest of the flour.
You might need a bit more or less flour to form dough that isn't too sticky to knead.
When the dough forms a nice ball, add the softened butter and continue to knead the dough for about ten minutes.
▢ Roll the dough into a cylinder and cut into six equal parts.
Roll each piece into a round bun and set them in a greased muffin/cake tin.
Cover and let rise until doubled in size (about an hour).
