Grandma's Almond Buns
I can remember my Grandma making these lovely almond buns when I was a child. In fact, walking into her house you were always greeted with the aroma of delicious Cornish baking - yeast buns, seed buns, saffron cake, heavy cake, pasties and pies - she always seemed to have something cooking! Ahh, wonderful childhood memories...!
