Ingredients :

​

2 x Eggs beaten
3/4 cup Warm milk (about 110 degrees)
1/4 oz Active dry yeast - (1 pkg)
4 cup Bread flour
1 tsp Salt
2 tbl Sugar
1 1/2 cup Butter
1 1/2 tsp Ground cardamom

​

Method :

​

* In a mixing bowl whisk the eggs, milk and yeast together. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes under refrigeration.
* Using a pastry blender, blend the flour, salt, sugar, and cardamom together. Work the yeast mixture into the flour. Knead the dough until smooth, about 2 minutes. Form the dough into a ball and allow to rest, about 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
* Beat 1 1/2 cups butter until smooth. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll into an oblong about 3/8 inches thick. Dot 1/3 of the butter over 2/3 of the dough. Fold the undotted dough over the remaining third of the butter-dotted portion. The dough is now in 3 layers. Roll the dough out gently into an oblong, 3/8-inch thick. Repeat the folding process two more times. Cover and chill the dough for 2 hours.
* For use, roll the dough into the desired shape following the rolling techniques.
