The best honey buns are made from honey and not eggs, according to an Australian chef who’s created a honey bun that’s even more perfect for the matilda.
“Honey buns have been made with eggs in the past but they’ve always been made from eggs because of the flavour,” Julia Jones said.
“[Honey] matildases are sweet, sweet and savoury, and that’s not something that’s made from egg yolks.”
She’s the owner of Honey Bun Honey and Honey Bar in Adelaide, which specialises in delicious honey bakes and honey bars.
Her recipe for her matildased honey bong is so simple and so delicious it’s the stuff of legend.
