Cherry pastries on kefir
Description
Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. It's probably hard to find someone who doesn't like delicious hot buns, especially homemade ones—this treat is a favorite among both adults and children. And surely, as many housewives as there are, there are just as many different recipes for making them, with various fillings and dough. Since I have a sweet tooth and love berry and fruit fillings, I'd like to share my favorite recipe with you. Serve cooled down or slightly warm.
