45 minutes
Homemade blueberry buns are a true delight of Russian cuisine, combining tender flaky dough with the refreshing tartness of blueberries. Their origin is rooted in baking traditions where housewives aimed to create a simple yet exquisite treat. Airy, soft, and slightly crispy on the outside, they reveal a sweet filling with light fruity notes. Blueberries not only add a special aroma to the pastry but also enrich the buns with vitamins. These buns are perfect for morning tea or as a cozy treat on the family table. The aroma of fresh baking enveloping the home during their preparation fills the atmosphere with warmth and homely comfort.
