Cardamom is a flavor commonly used in Scandanavian baking. It adds a distinctive flavor to rusks, but cinnamon can be used as a substitute.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 1/2 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cardamom (optional)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 c butter, softened
1 c sugar
1/2 c sour cream
1 tsp almond extract
2 large eggs, beaten
1/2 c almonds, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease thoroughly. Combine the flour, baking powder, cardamom, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
  • 2. Beat the butter in a large mixing bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Gradually add sugar and beat 1 minute until light. Beat in the sour cream, almond extract and eggs. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour and beat until soft dough forms. Beat in the almonds.
  • 3. Divide the dough into 3 parts. Shape each third into a log approx. 12 inches by 1 1/2 inches high by 2 inches wide. Place the logs on the baking sheet. Flatten slightly.
  • 4. Bake 25-30 minutes or until browned and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and cool slightly on the baking sheet.
  • 5. Cut each log into diagonal slices about 3/4 inches thick using a serrated knife or a bread knife. Place the slices flat on a baking sheet and return to the oven. Bake 8-10 minutes or until toasted. Turn the slices over and continue baking 8-10 minutes more or until the second side is toasted. Cool on a wire cooling rack.
