Soft and Fluffy Braided Lemon Buns 🍋✨ – The Perfect Spring Brunch Pastry
At their heart, braided lemon buns are a type of enriched yeast pastry made with flour, butter, eggs, and milk. Unlike plain bread, enriched doughs are soft, airy, and slightly sweet—perfect for sweet fillings like cinnamon, chocolate, or in this case, tangy lemon sugar.
