Cardamon Buns (Swedish)

Ingredients

1 tablespoon sugar

1 tablespoon ground cardamom

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Dough Sheet

1 - 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Raisins

Finely grated Orange peel

2 tsp Apricot jam/little water microwaved for glazing

Heat oven to 350°F. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray. In small bowl, mix sugar and cardamom until well blended. Set aside.

Unroll dough on work surface; press to form 12x8-inch rectangle. Roll if necessary . Brush with half of the melted butter; sprinkle evenly with 4 teaspoons cardamom-sugar mixture and orange peel. Sprinkle Raisins. Starting at one short end, fold dough in half. Roll, if necessary. With pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut into 8 (1-inch) strips.

Twist each dough strip and circle dough around two fingers to create space to tuck one end through to form a knot. Tucking ends under and place on cookie sheet. Brush buns with remaining butter; sprinkle evenly with remaining cardamom-sugar mixture.

Bake 14 to 16 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool 5 minutes. Serve warm.
