This recipe appeared at the right time! It’s Easter and although these are not hot cross buns,it gave the appearance of Easter buns of a different type.

These were amazing and even more delicious the day after. Served on their own or dunk them in a cup of coffee, these were definitely a hit.

Easy and fun to make!

Eat it or Starve!?? I can see these being eaten on those cold winter days in bed!
