The bun is out of the oven (so to speak)




I just took the homemade hamburger buns out of the oven and they look GREAT! The kids are already ready to eat an early dinner just to taste them! It is a recipe that I have been meaning to try for a long time and I'll post it here. It was easy to mix up and pretty quick too. If they taste anything like they smell they are sure to be a hit! And I am told that they freeze up well and are great brushed with butter and fried or grilled before serving.


Moomie's Beautiful Burger Buns (from bakingcircle.com)- adapted recipe for kichenaid mixer instead of bread maker
