• In a large mixing bowl, add all the dry ingredients; all-purpose or bread flour(whatever you are using), sugar, instant yeast, salt and milk powder. Set it aside.
• In another bowl, whisk together lukewarm 110 F milk, (the milk should not be too hot, it will kill the yeast and your buns will not rise). Add butter into milk mixture. (should be melted in the heat of milk) Whisk it very well. Read tips.
• Add this milk mixture and one egg, to the flour mix with the help of dough attachment of kitchen aid mixer, let it form dough. Once the dough is formed, remove it on lightly floured surface, knead it for few minutes 5-6 approximately. Do not use too much dry flour though.
• Transfer the dough to clean greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and put it in warm place in the kitchen for 1 to 1 ½ hours or until the dough is doubled in size. At this stage you can also keep the dough in the refrigerator for a slow over night rise. Meanwhile make the filling while the dough is rising.

Cardamom Filling

• In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the filling ingredients – butter, sugar, salt, vanilla extract and cardamom powder. I kept cardamom coarsely ground. Tip- use freshly ground cardamom for best flavor. Butter should be at room temperature, otherwise you will not be able to spread it. Not melted though.
• After the dough has doubled in size, transfer it on a lightly floured surface and using a rolling pin, roll out a rectangle about 12 X 20 inches. We need 6-7 rolls from it. So, its important to roll it out longer. (Cut the sides with a knife to make straight edges). Not important though.
• Using an offset spatula, spread the butter cardamom mixture over the rolled-out dough. Don’t be shy, spread it all over to the edges.
• Roll the dough gently, in a log (widthwise) and pinch the edges to seal. Cut the roll into 6 pieces using a serrated knife. If you are using a round pan, you can cut it in 7 pieces too. The pieces should be equal in size, approximately 2 inches.
• Place the cut sides down on a lightly greased deep dish or baking pan. (its important to use slightly deep dish as these will rise while proofing and baking) Leave some space in between them to rise.
• Cover them with a plastic wrap and let them rise in a warm place until they have doubled in size for about 1 – 1 1/2 hours. You can visibly see, they would have doubled, would look puffy and the space in between them will be filled up.
• After the rolls have risen, pre-heat the oven to 350 F. Place the buns in the preheated oven and bake them until they have golden edges and top, for 30 minutes. Every oven is different, so you might need few extra minutes or few minutes less. Do not overbake them. I like to tap on them, if it sounds hollow, its done.
• Once baked, remove them from the oven. Let the pan cool on a wire rack.

Mango Creme Fraiche Glaze

• Make glaze, while the buns are cooling. Combine crème fraiche, mango pulp, vanilla extract, salt, sugar, cardamom powder and diluted saffron. (Tip- Dilute saffron in 1 tbsp of warm liquid before adding)
• Whisk everything thoroughly until combined and there are no lumps. It should be smooth looking.
• Immediately, drizzle on top of each cardamom rolls while they are still warm. The glaze will melt, no problem. Just continue. Spread the mango glaze using a spatula or butter knife.
• Serve them warm or room temperature. They can be stored in cool place at room temperature for 2 days, after 2 days they need to be refrigerated in a container. Just remove them from fridge and warm them in a microwave for few seconds.
