These delighted my family and were simple to make. There are many hamburger bun recipes on the site; both of the ones from King Arthur stand out from the crowd. (The other one is #445540.) The instructions for step three are strange, though. I recommend dissolving the sugar and salt in the saucepan with the milk/butter, and then, (making sure the milk is cool enough that it won't kill the yeast), whisking in the yeast along with a single cup of flour and waiting until the yeast is dissolved and the mixture bubbles before adding the rest of the flour and kneading.
