Description

Perfect for serving with tea and coffee. These buns have a very unique appearance, resembling cream puffs. What makes these buns special is the large amount of butter in their composition. Usually, such buns are made with yeast dough, but this recipe proves they can also be made using a sourdough starter. It's best to bake these buns in muffin tins, as they will hold their shape better. Brioche can be served with soup or on its own with butter. The baked goods are ready. Serve at the table.
