Homemade buns!

Now that things are semi dying down. I still homeschool, help with a Co-op, make most of my families foods, sugar flowers, cakes and crafts lol.

I wanted to make buns, seriously the cost of buns at Whole Foods or Trader Joes is just plain expensive. I refuse to put high fructose corn syrup and all the preservatives in our bodies. So that led me on the hunt for a bun recipe!

It took a few attempts finding one that I wanted. I wanted it to be quick, you know the kind you mix and bake pretty much. I scored! Below is the recipe I found and my family loves!


I went with the following recipe from Taste of Home, I did find another that uses a mix (wheat and white) that I might try but for now this works!
