Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups Whole milk (gives the buns their rich texture.)
  • 4 cups + 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (sifted for a light and airy dough.)
  • 6 tablespoons Granulated sugar (sweetens the dough perfectly.)
  • 2 teaspoons Instant yeast (ensures a rapid rise, creating a fluffy bun.)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Ground cardamom (adds a delightful, warm spice.)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt (enhances the overall flavor of the dough.)
  • 2 large Eggs (at room temperature, help bind the ingredients together.)
  • 1/3 cup Lightly salted butter (cut into small pieces, keeps the dough moist.)

Filling Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons Butter (softened for easy mixing with brown sugar.)
  • 4 tablespoons Brown sugar (sweetens the filling with a hint of caramel flavor.)
  • 1 1/2 cups Frozen raspberries (roughly chopped, to provide juicy bursts in every bite.)

Custard Ingredients

  • 2 large Egg yolks (enriching the custard and adding a lovely color.)
  • 1/3 cup Granulated sugar (balances the tartness of the raspberries.)
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch (thicken the custard to a creamy consistency.)
  • 2 cups Whole milk (forms the base of the custard.)
  • 1/2 bean Vanilla bean or vanilla extract (infuses delightful flavor into the custard.)

Finish

  • 1 large Egg (for brushing the dough, gives a beautiful golden finish.)
  • Confectioners’ sugar (for dusting before serving, adding a sweet, decorative touch.)

Instructions

  1. Preparation
    Warm the Milk: Heat the milk over low heat until it’s lukewarm, about 100°F.
  2. Mix Dough Ingredients
    In a stand mixer with a dough hook, combine the sifted flour, sugar, instant yeast, ground cardamom, and salt. Pour in the lukewarm milk and one large egg, then knead on low speed for 8 minutes to form a cohesive dough.
  3. Incorporate Butter
    Add the butter pieces to the dough and knead for an additional 5 minutes, or until the dough is elastic and slightly moist. Cover and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour.
  4. Prepare Filling
    In a small bowl, mix softened butter with brown sugar until combined. Roughly chop the frozen raspberries and set aside.
  5. Roll Out Dough
    On a floured surface, roll the dough into a 20×15 inch rectangle.
  6. Add Filling and Raspberries
    Spread the butter and brown sugar mixture evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the chopped raspberries on top.
  7. Shape the Buns
    Roll the dough tightly from the long side into a 20-inch log to form your buns. Brush with egg for a golden finish.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs to help bind the dough more effectively.
  • Sifting the flour ensures a light and airy dough texture.
  • Letting the dough rise in a warm spot promotes optimal yeast activation for fluffier buns.
