Try using dental floss to cut the individual buns, sliding it back and forth on the way down--I find it is less apt to squish the dough than scissors.
Poppy, I have to admit the dental floss thing eludes me. SO much slower for me than scissors, and I never have any problem straightening the buns out after they're cut... But the others in the test kitchen swear by dental floss, so I'm the odd man out! Thanks- PJH
