Tips for guaranteed results
-
Knead the dough long enough – well-developed dough rises better and is fluffy.
-
Placing the buns close together will ensure after baking nice ‘tear-apart’ edges.
-
For a more festive version add a teaspoon of vanilla sugar to the dough or a handful of raisins (pre-soaked in a little rum).
Serving
Serve the buns still warm with a generous helping of vanilla sauce. They are also good lightly dusted with sugar and with the addition of a teaspoon of sour cream for a contrast of flavors.
Conclusion
Dukátové buchtičky are the magic of simplicity: honest yeasted dough, butter and a delicate vanilla sauce. If you watch the starter and rising and don’t rush the shaping, the reward will be buns as fluffy as a duvet. Include them in the family repertoire – the kids will ask for them next time themselves.
