  • “Love your buns BB. :)Great taste and easy to mix.I did have a bit of trouble putting the dough into the muffin tin.Sprinkled it with additional flour, and it was much easier.I cut the recipe in half, and ended up with 10 rolls. (there was no mention of what to do with the egg, so I mixed it into the milk/shortening mixture)I probably could have stretched it to 12 if I had been a little smarter.There were a couple that were bigger then the others. lolI suck at portion control.Thanks for a wonderful recipe, we’ll be having them with pot roast tonight….if I can keep Billy out of them.Made as a salute to Ed.”
