These tea time, any time treats are absolutely delicious! You have got to try them! Don’t get hung of preparing sadza only with Zviyo (Finger Millet). There’s more you can do with it to enjoy this highly nutritious grain, beginning with these rock buns!
Make sure you use zviyo that is grit free if you want to enjoy these. To achieve that, I used the sand free and stone free zviyo from The Grain Hub, and my oh my!

Gently mix until just combined, taking care not to over mix as this will result in tough textured rock buns. - Take set aside lined baking sheet and drop spoonfuls of the rock bun batter on to the tray spacing them about 2 cm apart. Bake in preheat oven for 15-20 min or until golden brown.
