So easy to make since I just put all the ingredients in the magimix - I didn't add anything this time but will be making again and want to try sundried tomatoes and basil. - 14 May 2011
Something else. I added a sprinkling of tarragon to my original recipe and oh boy did it work! - 29 Mar 2011
I've made these a few times now and I like to add herbs (rosemary and thyme) and/or some mustard powder for a little extra kick. I must make them a little big as the first time I only filled a 12 piece muffin tray and last night I only managed to make it spread to 8 buns! They were a little large, but still taste good! Something gluten free that tastes good, it's amazing! - 11 Nov 2015
