Plum buns made from yeast dough
Description
Perfect with tea and coffee. Besides plums, you can use any other filling. Yeast dough can be made from scratch or store-bought. Instead of yeast dough, you can also use puff pastry or unleavened dough. I wanted to make the dough myself. The buns turn out fluffy, soft, and aromatic. Serve warm or chilled. Ideal with tea.
