Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the warm milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture until a sticky dough forms.
-
Incorporate Flour: Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until the dough comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
-
Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
-
First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
-
Shape the Buns: Punch down the risen dough and divide it into small, equal-sized balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each bun.
-
Second Rise: Cover the buns with a clean towel and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes until they puff up.
-
Preheat the Oven: While the buns are rising, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Bake the Buns: Once the buns have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
-
Enjoy: Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These batter buns are best enjoyed warm with a pat of butter or your favorite jam.
