I didn't have enough bread flour left to make these so used a mix of 400g of strong flour and 100g of self-raising flour. They were absolutely delicious and tasted just like the brioche I used to eat when I lived in France. They're better straight from the oven but absolutely fine the day after.

A very easy to make breakfast treat!

The name of these is misleading as they are not like brioche at all, more like a cross between a scone and muffin as mentioned by someone else. Dead simple to make though and would be a nice addition to a brunch either savory or sweet.

Made these for christmas morning, I followed advice and doubled the sugar, they are heavy but taste like brioche and one was more than enough for a breakfast

the final cakes do taste like brioche but they are heavy and very cakey. did add vanilla essence to the mixture and stored the mixture in the fridge, which meant that the dough wasnt as sticky as i anticapated. I did add a choc drops inside each ball.
but i probably wont make these in future.

Use an ice cream scoop to measure into tin . no sticky hands

Just had these for breakfast. We weren't keen on them. Similar to last comment by LizzieC, they were too cakey, almost like a scone. I was hoping they'd be a bit more bread like.

Wasn't keen on how these turned out. Heavy and too cakey for my taste. Dough was simple enough to make however.

These were lovely. I used fast action dried yeast and doubled the sugar. I put chocolate chips in some too. Next time I will halve the recipe because I saved half the dough in the fridge and used some 2 days later. It was ok but not as good as the ones I made the day after. I will be making these again.

I made it for breakfast in two variations: sweet and salty (with paprika and cheddar). Both of them is delicious, but the sweet one is our favourite. I used fresh yeast.

I doubled the sugar and they tasted gorgeous. Very easy, very yummy.

These were delish! I don't think they'd keep or freeze well in baked or dough form, but that's a guess as they disappeared quickly here!

I was really worried these wouldn't turn out as the dough looked really wet and had lumps of butter in it, but I've just taken them out the oven and they look great! I used sunflower oil on my hands and it really stopped the dough sticking. I agree with nomnom though, they could do with a bit more sugar to be more like normal brioche. Will def make these again though - so quick and easy!

Yum yum! I used packet fast action yeast and it worked fine, the only thing I might change is to add a little more sugar, although still delicious without!

Indeed a very simple and no fuss recipe! My friends simply love it. It goes so well with jams, like a hydrid of scone and muffins in one! Will definitely recommend my friends to bake!

Brilliant recipe. So quick and easy to make and very tasty with dark chocolate in the middle. Works just as well with wheat and gluten free flour too.

I used dry yeast. They were delicious! The children loved them. So easy to make the dough the night before and just make up and put in the oven fresh! I will add choc to each middle next time! I found flour did work to make them not stick to my hands!

Made them last night and filled with Nutella :-)
Were amazing!

I used dry yeast, just added a lil' bit more, about 3/4 teaspoon.

Dried or fresh yeast????!!!!!

Saw the recipe late last night, 10 minutes later I was done and off to bed, couldn't be easier! (I used fast action dried yeast for all those enquiring.)

The dough was very very sticky so instead of flour, which just makes things stick more, I rubbed my hands with sunflower oil. It still stuck to everything but was a bit more manageable.

Absolutely hassle free, so long as you don't mind a bit of stick!

I am looking forward to making these - does anyone know if fast action yeast is ok to use?
