Tips

  • Place the butter in a bowl and cover it with the butter wrapper to prevent splatter in the microwave.
  • The butter should not be super hot when combined with other ingredients to avoid cooking the eggs.
  • You can add parmesan cheese or other toppings to the buns after baking.
  • This recipe is quick enough to make while your burgers are cooking.
  • You can also make a half batch, yielding 8 buns, unlike store-bought options that come in larger quantities.
  • To divide the dough evenly, consider weighing the portions, though the creator free-hands it.
  • Ensure the dough rises for about 15 minutes before baking for best results
