We still have a big batch of left over beef stew from
yesterday’s dinner so I decided to make these buns to eat with it. This recipe
is quick and easy to make. Hub and the children love it but I find it taste
somewhat too yeasty.
This time I ask my daughter to help shape the buns. She’s so
excited and just couldn’t wait for the buns to come out of the oven. Got her to
brush the buns with butter too. Actually I’m trying to get my daughter to help out
around the house as the brother is having exam this week but whenever I am not
looking she will disappear upstairs to watch television…Grrrrr
I
know there are parents out there who treat
their children like long-term guests in their home for fear that if they ask
the children
to help with the house chores, they will be loved less. The children are not even
expected to do simple things like clear their plates from the table or put away
their clothes.
But
what happens when the children moves out of the house, can they survive on
their own? For me, the lesson to be learnt here is to not let the desire to
remain indispensable to the ones we love to cloud our judgment. The world needs more responsible people.
Ingredients
3 ¼ bread flour / all-purpose flour
1 cup warm milk (pour milk into a microwave-safe container and microwave on medium high for 1 minute)
2 tbsp instant yeast
4 tbsp sugar / honey
1 tsp salt
1 whole egg
¼ cup butter - melted
2 tbsp butter - melted
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and
sugar then followed by the yeast and stir to mix well. Let the mixture sit for
about 5 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 200C. Lightly grease the baking tray.
In the mixer bowl with dough hook attached, add the
flour and salt.
On the lowest setting, mix in the egg and the melted
butter. Then pour in the bubbly yeast
mixture.
Allow this to mix until dough clings to paddle and
cleans the sides of the bowl. Dough will be pretty sticky.
With floured hands, tip dough out on lightly
floured surface. Divide and shape into 16 pieces.
Place on the baking tray, covered with damp tea
towel and allow it to rest for 10 minutes.
Bake for 8-12 minutes on center rack until lightly
golden brown. Remove them from the oven
and immediately brush with melted butter.
Let it cool just enough so it won't
burn your mouth when you take a bite.
How fast was that!
