Sweet Cinnamon Biscuits

By polledl

At the home of a Swedish friend, Grandma tasted a pastry flavored with a little cardamom. She tried a little cardamom in the filling of these biscuits and found it gave the biscuits a flavor thatwas perfect with coffee. She started with 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom, and when she found she liked the flavor, she added a little bit more the next time.
