Mix the eggs together with the cream and the remaining milk/water and pour into the center of the flour.

Knead for 2 or 3 minutes (or 1 with a dough hook) until the dough becomes smooth and does not stick to your hands.

Place the dough into an oiled bowl, cover, and leave to rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk (about an hour).

Knock the air out of the dough, knead for a few moments, and shape into a long roll. Cut the roll into 16 equal pieces.

Roughly flatten each piece into a circle and then roll up into a cylinder. Place each roll on a floured baking tray. Brush the tops lightly with beaten egg or cream and set aside for a further 20 minutes.
