today, I'm very happy to come back with a nice and a bright recipe to enjoy with your kids and grandkids this summer. It was a while ago since i posted my last article. being a busy mom is not easy, all the focus is on how to finish your daily tasks and get to bed lol!. but when i made these buns i immediately wanted to share it with you. i'm sure there is several milk buns recipes all over the world but to me, this one was my favorite. it became an addiction at home. it is soft. has no hard crust at all, little bit sweet to balance the salty fillings such as hot dogs, cheese, charcuterie, tuna, eggs, chicken sandwiches. also, heavenly delicious with butter/ peanut butter and jam, Nutella, honey, lemon curds, almond butter sandwiches. you can eat them even plain with nothing on it.

this recipe makes 10 buns. believe me, if was gone in two days lol! i had to double the measurements the second time i made it.

Tips
  • NOTE: the buns will bake very fast, stay close to the oven and check the bottom of your buns after 10 minutes of baking.
