Tips and Tricks

Use a stand mixer or electric mixer to make the dough and whipped cream.
Make sure the milk is warmed to the correct temperature (110°F/43°C) before adding the yeast to activate it properly.
Use a pastry bag to easily fill the buns with almond paste and whipped cream.
For easier clean-up, line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
