In a small bowl, whisk together two thirds of the warm milk and the yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
In the same bowl, stir in two thirds of the protein powder, the flour, half the salt, half the cardamom, and half the maple syrup. Add the remaining warm milk a little at a time until a soft dough forms. Knead for 8 minutes until smooth and slightly tacky. Cover and let rise in a warm spot for 60 minutes until doubled in size.
In a small cup, mix the butter, the remaining protein powder, the rest of the maple syrup, the rest of the cardamom, the remaining salt, and the cinnamon. Add water a teaspoon at a time until the mixture reaches a spreadable paste consistency.
Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 6 by 8 inch rectangle. Spread the filling over the surface, leaving a half inch border. Fold the dough in half lengthwise. Cut into 2 strips and twist each strip, then roll into a knot. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet, cover, and let puff for 25 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375°F while they rest.
Brush the buns with the egg white and sprinkle with pearl sugar. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown and the dough is set. Done when golden brown and set.
