Made from a simple tang‑song pre‑gelatinized flour paste, they rise twice for maximum fluff and are brushed with butter for a glossy finish. Perfect for any burger lover who wants bakery‑quality buns at home.

Critical Success Points

  • Creating the tang‑song paste correctly (must thicken quickly).
  • Gradual incorporation of butter during kneading.
  • Developing surface tension while shaping the buns.
  • Second proof must not be over‑crowded; buns need space to expand.
  • Baking until golden but not over‑browned.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot milk and boiling mixture with care to avoid burns.
  • Use oven mitts when removing hot baking sheets.
  • Keep fingers away from the stand mixer dough hook while running.
