Mom's Paska Bun Recipe image

Easter means paska for my extended Mennonite family. Paska is a soft and eggy sweet bread similar to brioche. Traditionally it is baked as a round bread but my family likes it made into buns topped with icing and colourful nonpareils or shredded coconut.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my buns didn't turn out as light and fluffy as I expected. They were still good, but not great.

These buns were a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall they were still good. I would probably reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my buns turned out really dense and heavy. They were still edible, but not very good.
