Munkki are traditional Finnish donuts that are eaten on Vappu, or Finnish May Day. They are delicious, and I've been missing them. However, I've also promised myself that I would never learn to make donuts, because I would do nothing but eat donuts. So, mini donut muffins it is. They definitely work, and for more than just Vappu!If you can, try grinding your own cardamom from pods in a mortar and pestle, as this gives a more intense flavor, bringing these closer to Finnish baked goods. To do this, simply open the pods (you can do this by squeezing them), add the seeds to your mortar, and then grind them with the pestle.These are very much based on the King Arthur donut muffin recipe, but changes the baking method to ensure that we have golden muffins that are not overcooked. I've also added optional pearl sugar, which, while not traditional, is certainly Nordic.You'll have extra melted butter and cardamom sugar. Gee, I wonder what that would be good for?
