Easy Quick Buns

Toffiffeezz's Note:

These are super easy, super quick buns. I get requests to take them everywhere we go. They are great for those last minute dinner guests, or a nice surprise for breakfast. They freeze well, and make excellent toast. This recipe is a combo of my grandmothers recipe and a few others, all tweaked to make a fast, easy, soft, fluffy bun.

Were they great? YES. Were they quick....not so much. Plan for at least two hours. (but they are worth it!)

They were quick and easy to make, came out crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside!
Perfect!
Only problem was they were a bit too sweet, I think a bit too much sugar was put in this recipe, so next time i'll try less sugar!

My first attempt of making buns or any bread from scratch that did not involve a bread machine. Everyone in the house enjoyed it and asked if I could make this recipe on a regular basis. No more store bought buns in our house anymore. Very good!
