These Hawaiian roll honey buns are unapologetically sweet and soft in the best way. The rolls are pillowy, with a subtly crisp exterior coated in a glossy, sweet glaze. The filling is rich, sweet, warm, and—thanks to the honey—not just straight-up sweet, but also some complexity. It’s tough to put these down.
