Lønnestræde´s walnut bun with rye and wheat flour

I have created this recipe on walnut buns out from two different walnut bread recipes, one from Elins walnut bread from "Hjemmebagt" and the other one from paper bag containing rye flour. And they have turned out very, very well also according to my afternoon tea guests.

I use the cheapest fermented dairy products, which I can get hold off, which is butter milk in this case. However, you can use plain thick milk, A-38 or yogurt, if you have this in your refrigerator. As sugar part you can use, what ever you have available in your kitchen cupboard such as agave syrup, honey, maple syrup or just plain sugar.

I hope you will try out my own creation of walnut buns in your own kitchen.
