 1 1/2 c  Milk


 1 1/2 oz Fresh yeast

     4 c  Wheat flour


   1/2 c  Sugar


     2 ts Ground cardamom


          Raisins to taste

 Melt butter, cool to lukewarm. Heat milk to lukewarm, about 37 C (100 F).


 Stir the yeast into the milk (or mix dry yeast into the flour). Add sugar


 and cardamom (and raisins if you use them) to the flour. Add milk and yeast


 mixture. Add melted and cooled butter. Stir well until dough is shiny and


 pliable. Add a little more flour if dough is too sticky. Cover dough with


 plastic wrap and let stand in a warm place until risen to double in bulk,


 about 45- 60 minutes. Stop here if you are making kringle. Knead dough


 lightly, roll with your hands into a long sausage and divide into 24 equal


 parts. Shape each piece into a round ball. Place on greased baking sheet


 and let rise about 20 minutes. Brush with beaten egg. Bake on the middle


 rack of the oven until they are nicely browned with pale sides. 250 C (475
