Description
Delightful soft and fluffy mini buns perfect for breakfast, brunch, or snacks, with a touch of sweetness from milk and sugar.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon yeast
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons butter (softened)
Instructions
- Activate the yeast by warming the milk and adding it to the yeast with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes, or until frothy.
- Mix the flour, salt, and softened butter in a separate bowl. Combine with the yeast mixture to form a soft dough.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- First rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Shape the buns by punching down the dough, dividing it into equal parts, and rolling each into a small ball.
- Second rise: Arrange the balls on a lightly floured surface or greased steamer tray and let rise for about 30 minutes.
- Steam the buns in a pot of simmering water for 12-15 minutes, or until fluffy and cooked through.
Notes
These buns are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or frozen for up to a month.
