Ingredients

• Dough:
• - 4 cups all-purpose flour
• - 1 package active dry yeast
• - 1 cup warm milk
• - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• - 1 teaspoon salt
• - 2 large eggs
• Filling:
• - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• - 1 cup brown sugar
• - 2 tablespoons ground cardamom
• Glaze:
• - 1 cup powdered sugar
• - 2 tablespoons milk
• - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk and let it sit for 5 minutes to activate.
2. Add sugar, melted butter, salt, and eggs to the bowl and mix until well combined.
3. Gradually add flour and knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
5. While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by mixing the softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cardamom in a small bowl.
6. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.
7. Roll out the dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
8. Spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a narrow margin around the edges.
9. Starting from the long side, tightly roll up the dough, jellyroll style.
10. Cut the rolled dough into 1 1/2 inch slices and place them in a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between each roll.
11. Cover the baking dish with a damp cloth and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes.
12. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
13. Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
14. While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
15. Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
16. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls.
17. Serve the Grandma Georgie's Cardamom Rolls warm and enjoy!
