Apricot jam buns
Description
The baked goods come together simply and quickly. These buns are easy to make, but like anything made from yeast dough, they need time. In this recipe I add condensed milk to the dough—that’s what makes the buns so tender and fluffy. If you haven’t tried baking them this way yet, do—it’s worth it.
