1 cake yeast
2 tbsp. lukewarm water
1 c. scalded milk
3 c. sifted flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg
3/8 c. butter
6 tbsp. sugar
1/4 c. ground almonds
10 ground cardamom seeds
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 beaten egg white

FILLING:

1/4 lb. ground almonds
1 c. confectioners' sugar
Cream

Dissolve yeast in water. When it bubbles, add lukewarm milk, flour and salt. Let rise until double in bulk. Add egg, butter, sugar, almonds and spices. Knead with enough flour to handle. Let rise again until double. Knead until smooth.

Shape into small round buns. Brush with beaten egg white. Bake in 400 degree oven for 15 minutes.

When cool, cut buns in half. Mix 1 cup confectioners' sugar with almonds. Stir in cream until smooth. Use 1 tablespoon of filling in each bun. Put buns back together and dust with confectioners' sugar.
