  1. Mix yeast, milk and sugar in a small bowl. Stir, cover and let rise for 5-10 minutes until yeast has dissolved.

  2. In a large bowl or stand mixer, place 2 1/2 cups flour, yeast mixture, cardamom, confectioners’ sugar, butter, vanilla and salt. Combine all until it forms a soft dough.

  3. Add the citron, lemon juice, zest, ground almond and raisins, mixing well. Knead for 10-15 minutes by hand or 5-7 minutes by machine. Add the additional flour, as needed. The dough should not be sticky.

  4. Make a large ball, Cover the bowl and let dough rise for 5-6 hours or until doubled. (I made the dough at night & let it sit overnight, baking them early in the morning)

  5. Punch down dough and knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for a couple of minutes.

  6. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Form 10-12 balls from the dough and place on a baking sheet.
