Cherry Buns
6 servings
45 minutes
Cherry buns are a delicate and aromatic treat of Russian cuisine, infused with the traditions of home baking. Their history traces back to Slavic culture, where berries, especially cherries, were often used in cooking for their rich flavor and slight tartness. These buns have an airy texture and a subtle creamy taste that perfectly complements the juiciness of the cherries. They can be served with morning tea or coffee and also as an exquisite dessert for celebrations. The sugary crust gives them an appetizing caramel hue, while the cream makes the dough soft and crumbly. Cherries add freshness and brightness to each bite, creating a harmony of flavors. The buns can be served warm with sour cream or honey to highlight their natural sweetness and tenderness.
