Air Buns

Submitted by Dominique353

"There are some other air bun recipes which are the same or similar to this... but this is one my mom always made at Christmas time so I'm posting it so I don't lose it :) we eat these as part of our cold Christmas Eve dinner every year. Then we eat them with turkey after Christmas dinner! I also once accidentally used this recipe to make pizza dough... best volcano pizza ever! :) *NOTE: Prep time does not include rising time."
