Pearlsugar (Pärlsocker) looks like this: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=p%C3%A4rlsocker&iax=images&ia=images
Instructions:
Melt the butter/margarine in a saucepan.
Pour in the milk and allow the mixture to warm reach bodytemperature (approx. + 37 ° C).
Dissolve the yeast in a dough bowl with the help of the salt.
Add the 37 ° C milk/butter mixture, sugar and if you choose to the optional cardamom. (I like this option!)
and just over 2/3 of the flour.
Work the dough shiny and smooth, about 4 minutes with a machine or 8 minutes by hand.
Add if necessary. additional flour but save at least 1 dl for baking.
Let the dough rise covered (by a kitchen towel), about 30 minutes.
Work the dough into the bowl and then pick it up on a floured workbench.
Knead the dough smoothly. Divide the dough into 2 parts.
Roll out each piece into a rectangular cake.
Stir together the ingredients for the filling and spread it.
Roll up and cut each roll into 24 pieces.
Place them in paper molds or directly on baking paper with the cut surface facing up.
Let them rise covered with a baking sheet, about 30 minutes.
Brush the buns with beaten egg and sprinkle your choosen topping.
Bake in the middle of the oven at 250 ° C, 5-8 minutes.
Allow to cool on a wire rack under a baking sheet.
Enjoy during Fika!
PS; Can be frozen and thawed in microwave for later later enjoyment as well.

I don't know about the international availability of "Pearlsugar" but I found a place doing international shipping of it here: Shop Pärlsocker Also normal sugar is ok, and or you could experiment with some sprinkles as well :-)

"Pärlsocker" might be the traditional way but hey, be creative with the topping!
