1/4 c. warm water
1 tsp. sugar
1 c. milk
1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt

Dissolve the yeast in the warm water with sugar. Stir and set aside. Scald milk, add butter, sugar and salt. Stir and cool a bit. Add well beaten eggs. Stir in yeast mixture, flour and cardamom.

Let rise in a warm place until double. Stir down and put on floured board. Knead a few times, then pat out to a rectangle about 12"x15". Cut in two. Then spread with melted butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll up like a jelly roll and shape into circles in 2 pie pans. Let rise.

Brush with a beaten egg and bake in a 350 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Cool slightly. Frost with a mixture of 1 cup sifted powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon warm milk and 1 tablespoon melted butter and almond flavor if desired. Sprinkle with chopped nuts.
