By AzWench

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup butter
• 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 cups flour
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoon dry yeast
• 3 eggs

Preparation

Step 1

Heat butter and milk until warm (120 to 130 degrees.) While milk mixture is warming on the stove, mix together 1 1/2 cups flour, sugar, salt and yeast in mixer bowl.

Gradually add milk mixture to dry ingredients. Beat together for about 2 minutes. Add 2 eggs plus one egg yolk (save remaining white to brush tops.) Add 1 cup flour and beat on high speed for 2 minutes. Gradually add remaining flour and knead until smooth and elastic.

Place in greased bowl, turning to place oiled side up. Cover with towel and raise to double. Roll out 1/2 inch thick and cut into circles.

Place on greased cookie sheet 2 inches apart, brush with beaten egg white. Let raise one hour. Bake at 375 degrees for 13 to 15 minutes. Cool on wire rack.

Note: For large buns use a #2 can (peaches, etc.); for small buns use a tuna can.
