These little buns are soft, tasty, slightly sweet and yellow. They contain the world's most expensive spice, which is what gives them their bright colour. They are quick and very easy to make – perfect for a spontaneous bake. And they taste fantastic with a little butter. Enjoy them with a cup of tea or coffee, or have them as a mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack for the kids.
