    2dl milk or single cream (10%)
    13g cake yeast
    3 tbsp sugar
    ½ tsp salt
    30g butter (82% fat)
    1 egg
    0.5 tsp ground cardamom
    About 2.5dl wheat flour

    150g sour cream
    90g Cow Candy or soft toffee

Whisk the eggs into the milk and yeast mixture, add enough flour to get a nice soft pastry. Continue blending intensively while adding melted butter and cardamom. Let the dough leaven in a warm place up to +35 °C for 30 minutes, then stir it through and pour it on a backing tray in a 1cm thick layer. Let it leaven in a warm place for another 15 minutes.

    Separate eggs. Blend yolks, the curds, sour cream and half of the sugar into an even mixture. Whisk the whites into a tender froth, add the rest of the sugar and continue whisking. Mix the froth carefully into the curds mixture, pour it over the leavened dough, sprinkle bilberries and chopped toffee on top.
