Honey and mandarin brioche are soft and fragrant with a small addition of rum which can also be omitted if serving to children. Great for breakfast with a good citrus or orange jam, or as a dessert accompanied by a delicious vanilla sauce, the one served with strudel. They can also be enriched with dark chocolate chips. Even in a dairy-free and butter-free version.
