A bit too sweet for my taste, but overall a good recipe.

Not bad, but not great. The flavor was a bit bland for my taste, and the buns were a little dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These saffron buns turned out amazing! The dough was easy to work with and the buns were perfectly golden brown when they came out of the oven. The flavor was spot-on, with just the right amount of sweetness and spice. I'll definitely be making these
