Gather all ingredients in the kitchen.

Decide to skip the first proof and only do a second proof to make the buns puffier and more tender.

Use 3 teaspoons of instant yeast instead of 2 and 1/4 teaspoons due to adding cardamom, which can inhibit yeast.

Add 1 cup of room temperature whole milk to the yeast without activating it.

Measure out 4 tablespoons plus 2 tablespoons of sugar and add to the mixture.

Add 1 teaspoon of ground cardamom to the mixture, preferably using crushed whole seeds for better flavor.

Measure out 450 g of all-purpose flour and add it to the mixture in batches.

Add 3 3/4 teaspoons of kosher salt to the mixture, estimating due to using a grinder.

Add 5 tablespoons of salted butter to the mixture, noting that it is less than the usual 7 tablespoons called for in other recipes.

Mix all ingredients together until a dough forms.
