GRANDMA’S BUNS

 INGREDIENTS:

 6 cups All-Purpose Flour                           2 Eggs

1 Tbsp. Yeast                                            1 Tbsp. Vanilla

½ cup Sugar                                             Warm Water

2 tsps. Salt                                                

½ cup unsalted Butter                               ¼ cup Melted Butter

½ cup Sour Cream                                    Cinnamon Sugar                                                                  

DIRECTIONS:

 

  1. Place the Flour, Yeast, Sugar and Salt into the Kitchen Aid  work bowl;  attach the paddle beater and run at low speed (# 2) until all the ingredients are combined.
  2. Cut the butter up into 6-8 pieces and add to the Flour along with the Sour Cream; run at low speed (# 2) until well mixed.
  3. Crack the Eggs into a 2 cup liquid measuring cup;  add enough Warm Water to make 2 cups total.  Add the Vanilla to the Water and Eggs.
  4. Run the mixer at low speed (# 2) while slowly adding the Water/Egg mixture.  When all the Liquid is mixed in, stop the mixer and switch to the dough hook.
  5. Run at low speed (# 2) for 5 – 7 minutes longer.  (The dough will be soft)  Grease or flour a 6 quart mixing bowl and place the Dough in it.  Lightly dust the top of the Dough with Flour; cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise.
  6. Allow the Dough to rise until doubled in bulk.  (This will take 1-2 hours, depending on the temperature of the room)
  7. When the dough has risen, punch it down, then roll it out on a smooth surface (lightly flour if the dough is too sticky) until it is almost   1/8” thick.  (Approximately 18 x 24)
  8. Brush with the melted butter then sprinkle with Cinnamon Sugar.
  9. Cut into 1” strips (the long way), then cut each in half.
