Whole Wheat Walnut Buns
The flower shaped golden buns were similar to my Raisin Citron Walnut Milk Buns although no rye flour but more whole wheat. Toasted walnuts were generously loaded in the lovely moist crumb, so they could be found in each bite. The buns were great on the next day too. Just lightly toast them in a toaster oven, they were delicious with or without buttery spread. Some became J's lunch of course!
