Pineapple Buns
Description
Pineapple buns are a fairly simple yeast dough pastry, moderately sweet, with an interesting berry tang. If you enjoy working with yeast dough, feel free to add this recipe to your cookbook. It's very easy, and the buns turn out very tasty and juicy. You need to add egg white to the filling so that it doesn't let the juicy pineapple leak out and give the buns an unsightly appearance. You can use your favorite berries—lingonberries and cherries complement the pineapple flavor beautifully. When serving, garnish the buns with berries and dust with powdered sugar. Brew a delicious tea and enjoy the dessert. It can be served with tea or coffee.
