  • “These are EXTRA good!! Infact, if I could rate it 6 stars, I would! I made them yesterday, for my mother forMother’s Day – but we ate them ALL(!!), as my mother ended up in hospital, but will definately be making these very soon again! I’m sure she’s going to love them as much as we do!”

  • “Every bit of it was how I imagined it to be……Fabulous!!!I followed the exact measurements,but i didnt need to use any milk,though I needed to use little bit extra flour…and also filled a few with belgian chocolate truffle sauce..Heavenly…..but only got 11 buns out of it:((( Will double reicpe next time…as my darling son of 2 wanted to eat them all…”

  • “Very good! Back in Ireland my Mom used to make these for us as kids and used lemon curd in half of them and that was a nice change. This recipe is very good, although my dough was a little soft, the milk really wasn’t needed. They are light and sweet but not too sweet….lovely with a cup of tea! I will double the recipe next time as I only got 11 too!”
