Description
The recipe won't take much time. "Hedgehogs" buns are a perfect example of how you can use your creativity even while cooking! The buns turn out very attractive due to the cuts made before baking. This recipe is great because you can use not only meat filling, but also something sweet (for example, cottage cheese or sweetened curd). Experiment and don't be afraid to try new recipes. Serve with tea or coffee.
