How to Make Magic Balloon Buns
- 1Dissolve yeast in warm water, stir in warm milk, 1/4 cup sugar, salt, egg, 1/4 cup melted butter, and 1 ¾ cups of the flour (Reserve remaining flour for next step). Beat until smooth.
- 2Add enough of remaining flour to make a dough that is easy to handle. Knead for about 5 minutes using more flour as needed to make a pliable dough. Place in a greased bowl, cover, let rise in a warm place until double, about 1 ½ hours.
- 3Punch down and divide dough in 2 equal pieces. Roll out to ¼ inch think and cut into 3 ½ inch circles. Wrap each circle around a marshmallow and tightly seal at bottom.
- 4Mix cinnamon and 1 cup sugar. Dip bun in melted 1/2 cup butter and then roll in cinnamon sugar. Place in greased muffin cups and let rise about 20 minutes. Bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes. Serve warm.
