Easter paska
Description
The baking is simple and quick. To make Easter buns, you'll need a short list of ingredients: homemade thick kefir (I made mine from homemade milk and starter culture), butter with at least 72% fat, sugar, eggs, raisins (you can use any dried fruit, candied fruit, or ground nuts). For flavor, you can add vanilla flavoring or natural vanilla, vanilla sugar. See all the details in the recipe. Serve with tea or coffee.
