Kardemommesnurre is a coiled Nordic bun: enriched butter dough rolled with crushed cardamom-and-butter filling, twisted into a knot, brushed with egg and baked to a deep mahogany.
Cardamom buns took hold in Danish bakeries in the 19th century via the trade routes that brought Indian cardamom to Scandinavia through the Danish East India Company. The modern revival is owed to Emil Glaser at Juno the Bakery (opened 2017 in Østerbro), whose intensely cardamom-perfumed knot bun became a Copenhagen ritual queue and reset the city's expectations. Hart Bageri (Richard Hart, mentored by Tartine's Chad Robertson) joined the wave from 2018 with a darker-baked version. Andersen & Maillard runs an espresso-paired version at their Nørrebro and Nordhavn counters.
