Step 1
For these buns, use yeast dough made with milk, for example—like the recipe below. It turns out exceptionally light and delicious! To prepare the dough, heat the milk to body temperature. Yeast will die in hot milk and won't activate in overly cold milk. Add sugar and yeast. The temperature should remain warm. Let it sit for 15 minutes, uncovered, so the yeast can activate in a warm, sweet environment.

Meanwhile, melt the butter and let it cool until warm. Then, crack the egg (not cold) into a deep bowl—remove it from the refrigerator in advance or warm it slightly in warm water before use. Add salt and vanilla sugar to the bowl and whisk lightly.
