How to use this list
Check for all-purpose flour, baking powder, fine salt, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cardamom. Buy unsalted butter, sour cream, eggs, walnut halves, and whole milk. Keep the milk separate in your notes because it is a small listed amount, but it still belongs in the batch.
