Tea Buns

  • 3 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons yeast
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 large egg
  • Half a cup of melted butter
  1. In a bowl, add yeast, 1 tablespoon of sugar and warm milk (it should not be hot, it will kill the yeast) mix and cover for about 5-7 minutes to flourish.
  2. In the yeast mixture, add the egg, melted butter, flour, salt and the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar then mix well.
  3. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes or until the dough is smooth.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it and put it in a warm place until it has doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough to release the air. Roll the dough into small balls and place them in a greased baking dish.
  6. Cover it to let it rise a second time.
  7. Bake at 180 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes
  8. Butter the rolls immediately after taking them out of the oven.
