Guyanese Rock Buns

Guyanese Rock Buns

I got this recipe for Rock Buns from my Mother-in-law.  She makes these around Christmas time and I love them.  I can have them for breakfast, and all day long as a snack.  They are great with a cup of tea and coffee.  Once I got the recipe from Mom, I made them for my Nanie and well she loved them just as much and making buns for her became a regular thing especially around the holidays.  Since Nanie passed on I kind of stop baking as much and this past Thanksgiving was the first time in a long time since I made Nanie's favorites.  I hope you try and enjoy this recipe as much as I do.  I will be making them for Christmas too.
