Instructions

Warm milk to about 110°F. Sprinkle yeast over it and let sit for 5 minutes until bubbly.
In a mixing bowl, combine sugar and melted butter with the yeast mixture. Gradually add flour until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Prepare filling by combining sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and melted butter.
Roll out risen dough into a rectangle. Spread filling evenly over the dough and roll tightly into a log shape.
Cut into rolls about 2 inches thick and place cut-side up in a greased baking dish. Cover and let rise while preheating oven to 350°F.
Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
