Zavivantsy
Description
Zavivantsy got their name from how they look. Otherwise, in terms of taste, they are perfectly ordinary cinnamon buns. So if you like cinnamon buns but want to experiment a little and give this familiar treat a fresh twist, I recommend trying zavivantsy. Fortunately, they are not particularly difficult to make. You can serve them with tea or coffee.
