Why it is renowned
The Press Democrat names Richard Hart as renowned for the flaky cardamom buns of his Copenhagen bakeries; the Cardamom Croissant is the one cardamom pastry on Hart Bageri's list.12 In the television series The Bear, the pastry chef Marcus comes to Hart Bageri to eat and study its pastries, the cardamom bun among them.1 Wonderful Copenhagen, the city's tourist board, sends visitors to Hart's Holmen shop to taste the pastries Marcus buys there.3
The story
Small squares of croissant dough are tossed in the bakery's own blend of cardamom sugar and baked together as one piece, which gives a strong, aromatic cardamom flavour.2
