This Danish cinnamon snails recipe makes what Americans call cinnamon rolls, but this version is the original Danish version, and it's absolutely wonderful. They're traditionally served with coffee or tea at Christmastime and are delicious!

Ingredients

1 cup warm milk , 110 degrees F/45 degrees C
3 blockss fresh yeast , 0.6 ounce
6.5 tablespoons butter , room temperature
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons white sugar
0.5 teaspoons ground cardamom
0.25 teaspoons salt
4 cups all-purpose flour , or as needed

Instructions

1

Pour warm milk into a bowl; mash in yeast cakes. Mix in butter, eggs, sugar, cardamom, salt, and 3 1/2 cups flour. Use a wooden spoon to mix dough together. If very sticky, add remaining 1/2 cup flour. Cover the bowl; let dough rise for 30 minutes.
2

Beat together butter and sugar in a medium bowl until filling is creamy. Stir in cinnamon until combined. Set aside.
3

Transfer dough to a floured surface; knead until firm, about 3 minutes. Divide dough in half; roll each half into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Spread each rectangle with 1/2 of the filling.
4

Stack dough rectangles on top each other, filling-side up. Roll dough into a log starting with edge closest to you. Cut log into 1-inch-thick slices.
5

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Alternatively, grease a baking dish or 2 cake pans if you prefer pull-apart rolls.
6

Place rolls on the prepared baking sheet about 3 inches apart. If baking pull-apart rolls, arrange in the prepared baking dish or cake pans about 1 inch apart. Let rolls rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
7

Bake rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Pull-apart rolls will take longer. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking until sides are fully set, about 10 minutes more. Cover rolls with foil if browning too quickly.
