5. Beat the remaining egg in a small bowl with a pinch of salt. Brush the buns with the egg mixture and sprinkle with the remaining sugar. Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes. The buns are best made on the day of baking. However, they can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Then, just brush them with egg, sprinkle with sugar, and bake. This way, you'll always have fresh buns whenever you want.
