Milk buns are a delicate and airy pastry that comes from traditional Russian cuisine. Their softness is achieved through milk and butter, while yeast gives them lightness and fluffiness. The history of such buns traces back to old home recipes when housewives baked them for family tea gatherings. The golden crust, aroma of fresh baking, and sweet taste make them perfect for breakfast or a cozy evening with hot tea. Buns pair wonderfully with jam, honey, or simply butter, revealing the richness of traditional Russian gastronomy.
