Chamomile Lemon Sticky Buns

Sticky buns are the best buns. There’s a quiet joy in unraveling a soft, squishy bun, eating it layer by layer, making it last as long as possible. These delicately fragranced, pillowy rolls are no exception, and you get the added bonus of a sweet sticky bottom as the lemony sugar caramelizes in the pan. I know I say let them cool completely before serving, but I wouldn't blame you if you jump in as soon as they’re cool enough to handle.
