Hveder - Danish Wheat Buns
These Hveder are soft, lightly spiced wheat buns, traditionally Danish. The dough is enriched with eggs and butter, giving them a tender crumb. A hint of cardamom adds a warm, aromatic note. They require two rises, but the hands-on time is minimal. They're best served warm, perhaps toasted, with a smear of butter.

Mix Dough
Add the eggs, sugar, salt, ground cardamom, and all-purpose flour to the milk and yeast mixture. Knead everything thoroughly, using a kitchen mixer with a dough hook if you have one, until it starts to come together.
