    6. Cover the basin with a cloth and leave the dough to rise in a warm place.

    7. Peel the cardamoms and crush the seeds, then mix with the remaining sugar and the stoned raisins.

    8. When the dough is ready, turn it on to a floured board and divide into 2 pieces.

    9. Roll out each piece separately, spread with half the remaining butter, and sprinkle with the raisins, cardamoms and sugar.

    10. Roll up and place the rolls on a greased tin.

    11. Score with a sharp knife to show the filling, brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
