Cinnamon buns for tea
Description
The baking is simple and quick. You can prepare cinnamon tea, or serve aromatic buns made according to this recipe with your tea. The result is very light pastries with a delicate crisp crust, and they're also healthy since they're made with wheat sourdough. Be sure to add plenty of candied fruits and dried fruits to the dough so that the buns have a special touch. Additionally, I recommend decorating them with a glaze made from powdered sugar and cream—it will give the buns a nice shine. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
