Gather @active dry yeast{7%g}, @all-purpose flour{500%g}, @ground cardamom{2%tbsp} and @ground cinnamon{1%tsp}.

Warm the @milk{250%ml} to just above body temperature and stir in the yeast; let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. ~{5%minutes}

Mix in the flour, half the @sugar{70%g}, a tablespoon of cardamom and a pinch of salt, then knead in half the @butter{150%g} until the dough turns smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.

Cover and let rise in a warm spot until doubled, about 1 hour. ~{1%hours}

Beat the remaining butter with the remaining sugar, cardamom and cinnamon into a spreadable paste.

Roll the dough into a large rectangle, spread with the spiced butter edge to edge, then fold into thirds like a letter.

Slice into thin strips, twist each into a knot, and arrange on lined baking sheets with room to spread.

Cover and let the buns proof until puffy, about 30 minutes, then brush with @egg{1} wash and scatter @pearl sugar{3%tbsp} over the top. ~{30%minutes}

Bake at 220°C until deeply golden, 10–12 minutes, then cool on a rack. ~{11%minutes}
