Sweet sorrel buns
Description
In spring, many dishes are made from sorrel, for example, buns baked with sorrel and other ingredients. My favorite are sweet sorrel buns baked in the oven. They remind me of childhood, as my grandmother used to bake them this way. The dough for buns is very easy and quick to prepare, and it turns out perfectly for everyone without exception. You can experiment with the filling: you can use raw sorrel in the buns, scald it, or lightly stew it. I prefer the latter method, as it keeps all the juice inside the buns, and thanks to the starch, it doesn't leak out. Be sure to bake these buns—they are delicious. The pastry is ready. Serve at the table.
