Tied in Knots

I've had my eye on these Glazed Cinnamon-Cardamom Buns* for some time.

They showed up in a newsletter again, which Matt saw, and there was a lot of, "Oh, my".

But like so many recipes, the dough wants a nice, long rest in the fridge (as well a nap later, after being rolled out), and if you're anything thing me...

WHO HAS SPACE IN THEIR REFRIGERATOR???!!?!?


Ehem.

Stuff was moved, temporarily taken out, and I got down to business.

I love doughs like this.  They're just so satisfying to work with.

And making these twists was fun!

The twists became knots (I am historically awful at braiding, so am always a bit apprehensive when it comes to these sorts of things, but it worked out rather nicely).

Which were baked, then brushed with a syrup made from water and brown sugar.

They guys love them, and my gosh; how pretty are they??!

Easy recipe; just needs a bit of time, and room in your fridge (HA!).


*I ran out of cinnamon (gasp!), so one third of the filling is ginger.
