Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into equal portions.

Roll each portion into a flat circle, about ½ inch thick.

Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with cardamom, nuts, and raisins.

Remove from the oven and brush with additional butter, if desired.

Let cool slightly before serving.
