I am sitting in the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl wondering where I might find freeze dried raspberries. I have your brioche dough for strawberry cream tarts sitting in the refrigerator. Your recipes and stories are giving me a needed distraction.

My oldest grandson may like me to try this dough with raisins and cinnamon. His current jam.

Elizabeyta,

I hope that things are settling after the storm and that cleanup is underway. I'm sorry for those difficulties. My guess is that anything you make will be well-received, given the challenges in recent days. If there's a Target store near you they will carry the raspberries. You'll only need one package.

Be well and best of luck with the recovery.

Hello Martin. Thank you for another awesome recipe! I was interested in Cardamom bun for awhile. But I personally want to know how to make the cardamom sugar filling without raspberries or cinnamon. Just pure cardamom sugar filling and glaze without citrus. Can you help me with this?

Hey Joe!

I don't see why that wouldn't work. The raspberry powder does help bind some of the other filling ingredients so you may see a little more leak. But you could also consider dehydrated strawberries if those work better for you? Let me know how it goes!

Thank you for replying. I'm personally not against the ingredients from your recipe. I personally never tried cardamom buns..... -_-' So I do not know how they originally suppose to taste! I personally want to try something that taste close to the original cardamom bun and try other different variation once I understand it better. Let me know what you think

I appreciate the video!

I never thought to use eggwash inside a rolled up dough, and now I'm very curious about it. Three seasons of the year I have lots of eggs at hand, but butter has to come from the store, so this would be a really handy trick.

These look divine! Can't wait to try them! Could you do a longer (overnight, for example) cold rise in the fridge for the initial proofing period?
