1 pt. milk
1 yeast cake
1/2 c. butter
Cardamom seeds (about 6 or 8)

Dissolve yeast cake in a little lukewarm milk. Scald milk. Melt butter and add to scalded milk. Let cool. Add sugar and salt and crushed cardamom seeds. Add yeast. Add flour and knead thoroughly. Let rise until double in bulk (about 4 hours).
