Milk Buns Recipe

Milk buns are soft, slightly sweet bread rolls that are known for their fluffy texture and rich flavor. They are often made with milk, which gives them their name and contributes to their tenderness.

Here’s a simple recipe for making soft and fluffy milk buns:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup whole milk, warmed (about 110°F or 43°C)

• 2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet) instant yeast
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg

Instructions:

1. Activate Yeast:
