OMG! AZPARZYCH these little treasures are perfect. So tasty and they have a very nice texture, semi dry but still moist. They are more like a cookie than a bun. They taste absolutley incredible. That said, I did have a little difficulty with the mix. I never added any milk, because after I added the egg the batter was too soft. I added more flour until they became firmer, I also added a little more sugar, because I added more flour. I didn't have any problems rolling them after that. You just have to have a gentle hand and not add too much jam. I used a good quality thick raspberry jam, that made it easier to work with . I pinched the bottoms as recommended and then gently rolled into a ball again before placing on cookie sheet. They cooked up really quickly, in my convection oven, watch them, the bottoms burn easily. My end results were a little dark so I lightly sprinkled on extra icing sugar. All and all, I think that these are pretty wonderful, I know that I will be making them often. My dh is going to love these. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.

This recipe is in need of a bit of tweaking. The previous reviewer said they were too dry, so I used all the milk, resulting in a dough that was too soft, so I chilled it. That didn't help, so I added more flour. Chilled it again, still too soft, so I popped it in the freezer. Still too soft, but I gave it a try anyway. Impossible to work with, so the first batch, I made thumbprints out of them. The second batch I added more flour, and it was better. I was actually able to roll a ball! They are tasty, though, but they were so much trouble I won't make them again.<br/> Made for THINK PINK 2012

After reading the previous reviews, I made a couple modifications for my bakery to use this recipe. Increase the flour to 9 oz, add 1 tsp vanilla to the egg, add 1/4 tsp salt to the flour, and cut the milk to 1 Tbsp. I got a fantastic dough that was rich and slightly sweet and easy to work with. Customers went GAGA for them!!

An excellent recipe! Followed it exactly except I used about 10oz of flour instead of 8oz, so it wasn't too soft. I didn't find them too dry. Will be making again!

We enjoyed these for breakfast with a cup of tea. I found it easiest to enclose the hole with the raspberry jam by pinching off a piece of dough and spreading it over the hole. I did find the buns a tad bit dry so I will tweak the recipe a bit. Made for Newest Zaar tag.

<p><span><strong>I am a stay at home mom to two wonderful boys; Joshua (8years), Kaiden (5 years), and baby GIRL, Madalynn (19 months)! I also have two fur babies (cats); Kobee, AJ; we had to put our youngest cat Sly down Jan 2014. :(. I am also married to my best friend, Jeff and have been since April 2005. I love cooking, hate cleaning and will do whatever I can to get out of it! I love grilling and baking. I do most of the grilling at my house, and bake for almost a week straight at Christmas time! I can make or will attempt just about anything, though I rarely make brownies, my husband's are the best! Homemade breads are not my friend, so I am always working on bread baking.</strong></span></p><p><span><strong>As for recipe ideas (besides zaar) Cooking Light Cookbooks are my favorites. I love to make new meals and try new things; it is hard though because my husband is picky when it comes to veggies (and hates seafood); If it were up to him we would have baked-bread crumb chicken and white rice at least one meal a day! Over the past couple years with zaar, I have found tons of new recipes my family normally wouldn’t eat but have been happily surprised with new favorites.</strong></span></p><p><span><strong>I love to join in all of the tag games; I haven't been as present as I would like, but as soon as my Jeff is back from working in Ohio I will be back in full tagging mode! </strong></span></p><p><span><strong>Cooking is my hobby and passion, I always like to host the family get togethers and volunteer for the potluck dishes. Most of all though are my kids; being home all day with them is fun and challenging, but I wouldn’t trade it for any salary!!</strong></span></p>
