Notes

These honey buns are best enjoyed fresh on the day they're made. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; they may soften. To refresh, briefly warm them in a toaster oven or air fryer. Consider making variations, such as baked honey buns or using alternative milks for a dairy-free version. Enjoy the process of creating these sweet treats!
