Yummy, My family loves these. They make a great addition to any meal or sandwich. I bake them in a muffin tin if I want rolls or in a buttered cake when I want buns and double the recipe to make large 10 buns. These days I half this recipe and put it in muffin tins to bake. One or the reasons this bread is so loved is that the finished product is as light as a raised donut.

How to Make Buttercrust Buns (rolls)

Step-by-Step

Soften yeast in warm water. Use 1 tsp. of your sugar to activate yeast.
Combine butter, remaining sugar, salt and buttermilk; scald and let cool to lukewarm. About 100'
Blend in yeast and baking soda. Gradually add 4 1/2 to 5 cups of flour until soft dough is formed.
Cover and let rise in a warm place (70' to 80') until double in size (about one hour).
Place on floured surface and roll out to a 15-inch square. Brush with melted butter. Cut into 1 1/2 inch strips. Stack 5 high and cut into 1-1/2 inch pieces. Place cut side down in greased muffin tins.
