Rum Raisin, Pecan Frangipane & Milk Chocolate Buns
These buns where born out of a want to kick start some festivities with some boozy rum & orange soaked raisins. I knew they would pair perfectly with a toasty pecan frangipane and sweet milk chocolate. Slathered in a cream cheese frosting while they're still warm, they're the unnecessary but completely necessary dessert we all need.
Sweden - Semlor
Typically eaten around Easter time these Cardamom buns are filled with a soft almond paste and finished off with a tall piping of lightly whipped vanilla cream. Delicious.
Cyprus - Flaouna
A typical easter bake from Cyrpus, Flaouna is a delicious cheese pastry filled with mint, raisins and herbs. The dough is coated in white sesame seeds before adding in the filling which gives these a delicious nutty flavour. If you can, get your hands on the traditional spices (I’ve included some substitutions in case you can’t.)
