Soft and pillowy buns slathered thickly with cold butter is an Irani cafe snack that has continued to remain among the popular ones that is best paired with a cup of hot tea. While variations of this exist that include jam or cheese, the bread and butter combination is what continues to rule the roost.
2 fruit buns 2 tablespoons cold salted butter
Slice the fruit buns into halves and slather with cold butter on the bottom half before closing with the top one.
Cut into two or four pieces and serve hot alongside a cup of hot chai or coffee.
If using jam, spread a thin layer on the top half of the bun before closing.
If using cheese, grate some over the butter and repeat the process.
