These delightful buns are made with a soft and sweet dough, enriched with butter, eggs, and a hint of vanilla. Each bun is filled with a mixture of fresh blueberries, sugar, and a bit of lemon juice, creating a deliciously tangy and sweet center. After a second rise, the buns are brushed with a milk and maple syrup mixture or an egg yolk for a glossy finish, then sprinkled with almond flakes for a crunchy texture. Baked until golden brown, these buns are a perfect combination of soft bread and fruity filling.
