In a large mixing bowl, combine yeast and 1/2 cup of light cream.

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt margarine or butter.

Add the remaining 1/2 cup of cream to the melted margarine or butter.

Heat the mixture just until lukewarm.

Add the warm margarine mixture to the yeast mixture.

Stir in sugar, ground almonds, cardamom, half of the flour, and 1 egg.

Gradually add the remaining flour, stirring constantly until incorporated.

Knead the dough until smooth.

Sprinkle a little flour on top of the dough.

Cover the dough with a cloth and allow it to rise until doubled in size (approximately 30-45 minutes).

Grease one or two large baking sheets.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface.

Knead the dough until smooth again.

Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces.

Shape each piece into round, smooth buns without cracks.

Place the buns on the prepared baking sheets.

Let the buns rise until doubled in size (approximately 15-20 minutes).

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Beat the remaining egg.

Carefully brush each bun with the beaten egg.

Bake for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
