These buns are definitely a special occasion treat. They’re the best yeast rolls, soaked with butter (using my favorite Plugrá Butter), stuffed with an indulgent almond mixture, and drizzled with a sweet almond glaze. Basically, they’re insane.

The second night he surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of flowers that his Grandma revealed he had arranged himself (that's talent!)
