A cookbook, but don't remember which one.



List of Ingredients

• 1/3 cup potato buds/flakes
  
• 3 cups flour
  
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
  
• 3 Tbsp sugar
  
• 2 1/2 tsp yeast
  






Instructions



1. Place ingredients in a bread machine in the order given. Turn on bread machine to dough cycle.
   
   
2. Remove dough after the cycle is done and shape into a round ball, smooth it out with a pin or your hands. About 1 inch thick or so.
   
   
3. Cut with a knife, 8 pieces in equal sizes, approximately. Smooth each piece into a ball and make sure it's smooth on top. Flatten each ball with the palm of your hand.
   
   
4. Place the rolls on a lightly greased baking sheet or stoneware baking sheet. Cover and set aside in warm place till they are very puffy. About 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
   
   
5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake for about 15 to 22 minutes. Depending on your oven, till golden brown.
   
   
6. Spread tops with melted butter, if desired. Makes 8 buns.
   
   






Final Comments


I experimented with using melted butter and/or shortening. It works both ways. Also, baking the longer time, makes them more like hamburger buns. They get very golden brown. Yummy! Enjoy.
