”These are the sort of buns I make if I have family or friends staying over for the weekend and want to make them something special for breakfast or brunch. The dough can be made the day before and assembled on the morning you want to serve them. Whilst relatively classic, the buns are topped with a cream cheese glaze made with brown butter to give them a greater depth of flavour than you’d get with regular cream cheese frosting.” —Edd Kimber
