Mini Red Bean Buns 迷你红豆面包

When my daughter invited her best friends to our Mid-Autumn festival BBQ Party, her friends were so sweet, even gave me a baking cookbook as a gift. The title of the book is 星期天的烘培时光 by 郑荣仙.(a famous Korean cookbook writer).  There are many simple and nice baking recipes from this book, the first recipe i tried was this mini red bean buns..

The taste of this bun is not overwhelming, just a plain and simple bun, nice to have it with a cup of coffee..
