Homemade Favorites

This one is an absolute Favorite for my family. It’s a must have at all big family dinner. Grandma’s home buns! One draw back to these buns is that there are very time consuming. They are actually called “overnight buns” but you can make them in ne day, if you get up early in the morning. If you’re making them for the first time I would definitely suggest making them with a buddy.

I’ve made it one of my goals in life to be able to make them just like my grandma does, without looking at the recipe book! What’s one thing you wish you could memorize?

Overnight Buns

Put 1 pkg. yeast (1 tbsp yeast) in ¼ cup warm water and let stand 20 min.

In one mixing bowl put

2 well-beaten eggs

½ cup sugar

2 tbsp salt

½ cup vegetable oil

the yeast

add 2 cups water (at room temp.)

and 2 cups flour and again beat well (with mixer)

add 6 cups flour (8 in all)

mix and knead. Put in a greased dish and let rise 3-4 hours, punch down

let rise another hour or so in warm spot, then roll into little balls and place in pans

Cover with a tea towel and then some plastic and let rise for an hour or two. ( it depends on the temperature of the room.) Cook in 350 oven for approx. 15 min.
