Graham Herterich’s mammy buns, and tahini with black sesame cupcakes

Mammy buns

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always referred to buns as ‘mammy buns’. That’s what our mammy made and if you went to a friend’s house as a kid and there were buns, you could be assured they were made by their mammy. But no matter what you call them - fairy cakes, queen cakes, cupcakes or buns - these little classics were a staple growing up, especially at a party.
