Go to the grocery store to gather ingredients.

Melt 50 grams of margarine until it's soft.

Measure 2.7 cups of lukewarm milk and ensure it's body temperature before using it.

Add 25 grams of dry yeast to the lukewarm milk and mix.

Combine the melted margarine with the yeast mixture once it's body temperature.

Add 330 grams of flour, sugar, and cardamom to the mixture and mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough until it is smooth and not sticking to the bowl.

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise until doubled in size.

Once risen, punch down the dough and knead it slightly before dividing it into 12 equal pieces.

Roll each piece into a smooth ball, ensuring they are as crack-free as possible.

Place the rolled balls on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and let them rise again until puffy.
