These buns are very similar to another traditional Danish type of buns which are called Krydderboller which means Spiced Buns because of the cardamom which is added to the dough – the recipe for the two types of buns are almost the same. The buns are normally cut in two halves and then toasted on a toaster or in the oven. They a served with cold butter and cup of coffee.
