Mini butter buns
Explore a playful take on bao buns with these mini butter buns. The key to their flakiness lies in folding unsalted butter into the dough, creating layers that burst with flavor upon every bite. This technique adds an unexpected richness to a simple side dish, making it a delightful culinary experiment for any home cook.
Instructions

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, divide dough and round all of the pieces into smooth balls.
