“Just Enough” Sandwich Buns
Here’s the problem with most recipes for sandwich (or hamburger) buns. They make too many. Dozens of buns. That’s great if you’re having a party or a family reunion, but what if it’s just ma and pa on the old homestead? Throw in a kid or two if you want and that’s still a lot of buns. Here’s a recipe that makes just enough. By that I mean eight to ten buns, perhaps twelve if you make them fairly small.
