Before you start
Preheat oven to 180°C l Saucepan l Greased tin
Make the dough
- Heat the milk, butter and caster sugar on a low heat until the butter has melted and the sugar dissolved
- Set aside to cool for 10 minutes
- Meanwhile measure out the flour into a bowl, add the yeast and salt and mix to combine
- Check that the milk mixture has cooled to body temperature and then add to the dry ingredients, mixing quickly with a wooden spoon into a dough
- If it looks too wet add in a few more tablespoons of flour until it comes together into a loose dough - it will be very soft in texture‚ not like a bread dough
- Turn out on to a floured surface and give a few gentle kneads to bring together
- Place the dough in a bowl, cover with cling film and put in a warm place to rise until it has doubled in size
Form the buns
- When the dough has risen dust your work surface with flour and tip out the dough
- Knead it gently together, knocking the air out of it - it will be very soft and a little sticky, add a little more flour as you need to
- Roll out the dough into a rough rectangle around 35cm x 50cm
- Spread the butter onto the dough and sprinkle over the cardamom, cinnamon and brown sugar evenly on top
- Cover and leave to rise for 25-35 minutes
Bake the buns
- Once the buns are risen place the tin in the oven for 25-30 minutes
- They should be lightly golden on top and feel slightly soft in texture underneath when prodded
- While the buns cool, make the glaze by mixing the icing sugar with 1-2 tbsp of water
- Once they are completely cool, cover with the glaze and scatter over the pistachios
