SARAWAK BUTTER BUN

 During my younger years,butter buns was the only buns that my family and I love the most.During school days,I would walk by the factory near my school and smelled the fragrance of the famous butter buns.Unfortunately,this factory had close due to many competitors around.More and more bakeries are open and have sell different choices of buns besides butter buns.From time to time we still craved for butter buns,but they are now very expensive that I decided to make it at home.We loved butter buns that is taken out hot from the oven and then warm to eat.

Below is the recipe taken from youtube that I used to make sausage buns.It uses the tangzhong method which is very easy to make.Prepare it in advance and keep it in the fridge and you are on your way to make a nice,soft,fluffier butter buns to enjoy in the comfort of your own home without going to the bakery to buy.The dough recipe was from:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1C65CfhTUDg
