I love this bun. taste of childhood. But it’s very easy to prepare; premium flour must be sifted. Any yeast, dry or sold in cubes. buy vanilla sugar at the store. Fresh eggs can be homemade. Instead of water, you can take warm milk. Make sure to make the dough and make the dough more fluffy and check the yeast. bake the buns and spread them with cream. delicious.

This was my first time baking a Neva pie, in principle it was nothing complicated, if I had the desire, the only thing I added to the cream was a little chopped dried apricots, and it turned out pretty good. But next time I’ll experiment with adding cognac, I can’t even imagine what will happen, but I think it will be delicious.

Asya, Has anyone ever added cognac to baked goods? Desserts with the addition of cognac, rum, sometimes even vodka can be added, the results are delicious, with a refined aroma. The main thing is not to overdo it with alcohol. By the way, it’s great to soak dried fruits in alcohol before making confectionery. For example, I soak and steam raisins only in alcohol. Give it a try.

Maslova Tatyana, oh, what cute little crumpets and buns!!! Soaked in alcohol and with cream mmm...An interesting option is to soak everything in alcohol, so as not to get carried away, I hope I recognize the measure in time and everything will be poured as it should. Thanks for the recipe and helpful comments!
