These buns were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. The dough was easy to work with and the buns turned out so soft and fluffy. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.

These buns were a bit too dense for my taste, but they were still very good. The dough was easy to work with and the buns turned out so soft and fluffy. I think I'll try making them again with more flour next time.
