SWEDISH CARDAMOM BRAIDS
"Swedish people love their coffee-especially with this classic coffee cake. The recipe came from my father's aunt, and I can remember my mother crushing cardamom seeds to make it. Back then, you couldn't buy cardamom already ground." -Harriet Meola, Mauldin, South Carolina

[email protected]These braids were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.
