Grandma's buns
Description
Homemade baking for tea. When choosing jam for baking, prefer a thick one without liquid. This increases the chance that it won’t leak out. To keep the buns from losing shape or tearing during baking, be sure to allow time for proofing and kneading. Otherwise, the recipe is simple and accessible. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
