Instructions
- Cut the bun into thin slices. Each slice should be about 2 slices of normal bread held together. Do not cut the slices too thin or t0o thick because then the maska (butter & cream) will not be able to absorb it properly.
- Apply a layer (or two) of fresh cream on the white side of the bread. The more cream you add, the creamier your bun will be.
- Spread some sugar over the cream. If you are already using sweet bread, then add just a bit of sugar as too much of sugar will ruin the flavour of the maska.
- Place the slices of the bun with the creamy side up in the microwave and warm it for 3 minutes on medium heat.
- Meanwhile, slices the cold butter. The slices of butter should be approximately the size of the bun slices.
- Now place a slice of butter between two bun slices.
- Serve with hot tea.
Recipe Notes
For a crispier bun maska, toast the sweet bun before putting cream on it.
