Cardamom spinners
Cardamom spinners like the ones from Juno the Bakery
Back home in Denmark, cardamom-filled snickers have also been put on the map after Juno the Bakery put them on the menu. The small, hip Copenhagen bakery where people suddenly lined up all the way out onto the street to get a taste of a snickers with cardamom. Many Danes know Meyers cinnamon rolls (which was probably inspired by a bakery in Stockholm!), but these cardamom rolls were really next level. After having tasted both an authentic Swedish cardamom roll and the quite excellent Copenhagen imitation.
TIP: Also try making pizza filling rolls, which are great for a packed lunch.
Cold-risen rolls with cardamom
The video mentions that the recipe can also be used to make cold-risen snorts. This is described in the recipe, and it can be a smart idea to follow if you want to serve them for brunch. When you make the dough cold-risen, use cold milk in the dough. When the dough is well kneaded, place the bowl covered in the refrigerator overnight (at least 8 hours). The dough can then be spun the next morning, after which they must rise for 1-2 hours before baking.
Cardamom rolls with sourdough
If you have a sourdough starter, it is recommended to add sourdough to your dough. It gives a really good taste and improves the shelf life of your baked goods. Especially if you are making cold-leavened cardamom rolls, the sourdough will really be allowed to do its magic. When you add sourdough to the dough, you can use anything between 1 tbsp. to 1 dl. If you are using a larger amount of sourdough, you may need to add a little extra flour. You can find a guide on how to start, maintain, and bake with sourdough right here. 
Tips and tricks for the best cardamom rolls
To achieve the best results with your homemade snickers, you can use the following tips and recommendations:
Use whole cardamom pods/cardamom seeds
It gives a completely different taste when you make cardamom rolls with whole cardamom seeds. The seeds can be a little hard to get your hands on, but you can often find whole cardamom pods that can be crushed to release the seeds. The small, black cardamom seeds should be crushed in a mortar before using them in the recipe. If you can't find whole cardamom pods or seeds, you can use the same amount (weight) of ground cardamom as a last resort.
Don't work too hard with your remonce
Be careful not to stir your remonce too much, as the butter will start to become very soft or melt, as this can cause the remonce to flow out of the swirls during baking.
Flavor variations of cardamom rolls
You can easily make different flavor variations of the cardamom rolls recipe. For example, try adding grated marzipan or chopped pistachios to the remonce. You can also spread raspberry jam over the dough together with the remonce (just use 2/3 portion of remonce) and make delicious raspberry rolls.
Pearl sugar for baking
It gives a really nice look, so if you can get your hands on some pearl sugar or happen to have it in the cupboard, you can give them a little sprinkle. Just sprinkle the sugar over the top just before the snickers go into the oven.
Can cardamom rolls be frozen?
You can easily freeze your cardamom rolls. There are several ways to do this:
- Freeze the cardamom rolls raw before they rise. This means that you roll them and then put them in the freezer.When you are ready to eat them, take them out of the freezer and let them rise, either on the kitchen counter or in the refrigerator (e.g. overnight). After that, they should rise until they have almost doubled in size, and then they are ready to bake.
- The freshly baked cardamom rolls can also be frozen. In this case, it is recommended that you bake them a little less than usual, so that they can be thawed in the oven and get a nice golden color, without them becoming too dark or dry. In this case, it is also a good idea to wait to brush them with glaze until they go into the oven the second time.
