Baked buns with meat and other fillings
Description
Homemade pastries for tea. I bake the buns in the oven, which allows me to make a whole baking tray at once. These buns are delicious with various fillings: meat, cabbage, mushrooms, as well as sweet fillings such as cottage cheese, berries, fruits (fresh or frozen). They can be served with tea or coffee.
