Instructions

  1. Combine all the ingredients and mix and knead them together, by hand or by mixer, until you have a soft, smooth dough.
  2. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover and let rise for 1 hour.
  3. Divide the dough into 8 pieces and shape each piece into a flattened ball; place the buns on greased baking sheets, cover and let rise 30-40 minutes, until they're puffy.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°.
  5. Bake the buns for 12-15 minutes, until they're golden brown; remove from oven and baking sheet and cool them on a rack.
  6. Split and use for burgers or sandwiches.
  7. For burgers, butter the split sides and fry them, buttered side down, until they're golden brown and warmed through.
