Homemade Buns

March 29, 2013

My Aunt Doris has always been a phenomenal cook! Whenever my family would take a trip out to the farm, Aunt Doris would whip up a batch of her homemade buns and have them ready for supper. I am excited to share this recipe with you, I know that you will love it. Nothing beats a warm, homemade bun.

4 packages yeast
1 cup lukewarm water
2 teaspoons sugar
2 cups milk, scalded
2 cups water
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 teaspoons salt
4 eggs, beaten
1 cup shortening, melted and cooled
14 cups flour

**Keep in mind, this recipe was from the farm, so large batches were necessary. This recipe can be cut in half if needed!**
