Cool spring weather lends itself well to nice warm bowls of soup........and what better to go with.....than some nice homemade buns. I remember someone giving my gramma the recipe for some beautiful soft buns when I was little. They were so light and soft...they were called air buns. Rather than go searching for the recipe, I did a quick little online search and came up with a recipe to try for air buns. I found quite a few recipes and they all seemed to be pretty much the same. I liked this one since the quantity was small (16 buns) and it was sized properly for using the bread machine. The buns turned out as I remembered them and I would most definitely make them again. I should have taken a picture straight out of the oven, but I was not quick enough and now the last one is a sandwich for my lunch. Last night it was Hamburger Soup ( with the addition of 1/4 head of cabbage....because I like that addition) and buns for dinner. Not fancy, but delicious none the less.
- 1 1/2 cup warm water
- 1/4 cup lard or shortening, melted
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vinegar
- 4 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
Add all ingredients into bread machine pan in the order listed. Choose dough cycle. Remove dough, punch down and form into dinner rolls. 15 fit nicely in an oblong pan. Let rise until doubled, about 1 hour then bake at 350F for 20 to 30 minutes until tops are golden and bottoms sound hollow when knocked. If you'd like to see the instructions for making these by hand rather than using the bread machine....look here.
