American buns
Description
The baking is simple and quick. These buns are very easy to make. Especially for those who are already familiar with yeast, enriched dough. Here it’s the classic version. Baking time depends on your oven; many bake them in 20 minutes. My case is different. Use any glaze you like and have on hand. Often it’s a mixture of butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar. I had an excellent ready‑made lemon glaze in a packet, which I diluted with hot water. Sweet dough pairs well with a lemon tang. The buns turn out tender, airy, and very tasty.
