Prep 19 min Cook 15 min Serves 21 Medium

Ingredients

  • Butter3 tbsp
  • Salta pinch
  • Eggs1
  • Sugar1 tsp
  • Baking Powder1/2 tsp
  • Vanilla Extract1 tsp
  • Ground Cinnamon1 tsp
  • Green Cardamom2 cups, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 180 C / 350 F and get two baking sheets ready.

  2. 2

    Sift the dry ingredients — flour, ground cinnamon, leavener — into a bowl and whisk briefly.

  3. 3

    Work the butter and sugar to a paste, add eggs, then bring the dough together with the dry ingredients.

  4. 4

    Press the green cardamom into the dough in two additions so every piece gets its share.

  5. 5

    Roll or scoop the dough, bake 11-13 minutes, then cool on the tray five minutes — they finish setting as they cool.

Chef's tip

Resting a custard or pudding overnight deepens the flavour and sets a cleaner slice.
