She gave me this recipe in 1994, after I asked her for the recipe for braided coffee bread she used to make when I was little. It's the same stuff, different shape.
Mix flour and cardamom in large bowl. Heat milk to ALMOST boiling (scalding), then add the butter and sugar, then remove from heat and let it sit till lukewarm. THEN activate your yeast in some warm water and add it and the egg to the saucepan. Then dump the contents of the saucepan into the bowl of flour. Scrunch and mix with your hands. It will be very sticky, but keep at it, and when it is not sticky, cover and let stand till doubled. Punch down. Roll to 18" by 15". Brush with the melted butter, leaving ?" dry at one large edge and both short edges. Combine the sugar, cinnamon and raisins and sprinkle over the dough. Roll up and seal. Form a ring and seal that. Snip every inch or so with scissors, almost to the center. Fold slices down to make a "flower" shape. Let rise again, covered. Bake at 350?, 15-35 mins, till golden brown. When it comes out, mix the glaze ingredients, and drizzle the glaze on the top.
