   • In a small bowl, soften yeast in warm water and 2 tsp of sugar. Set aside until frothy.

2. Prepare Milk Mixture:

   • In a saucepan, scald the milk. Once scalded, pour it over stiffly beaten egg whites in a separate bowl.

3. Prepare Butter and Egg Yolk Mixture:

   • In another bowl, beat together the egg yolks with sugar until thick and lemon-colored. Add softened butter to this mixture.

4. Combine Ingredients:

   • To the egg yolk mixture, add the yeast mixture and gradually incorporate the flour (about 5-6 cups) to form a soft dough.

5. Let the Dough Rise:

   • Allow the dough to rise until light, covering it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.

6. Shape the Buns:

   • Pinch off little pieces of dough and roll them into long strips, approximately 8 inches long. Then, form these strips into figure eights.

7. Fill with Lemon Filling:

   • Fill the holes of each figure eight with lemon flavor instant pudding and pie filling.

8. Second Rise:

   • Let the shaped buns rise again for about 30 minutes, until they have doubled in size.

9. Bake:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the buns for 20 minutes or until they are slightly golden in color and cooked through.

10. Finishing Touches:

    • Once baked, dust the Lemon Brunch Buns with icing sugar or drizzle them with icing for an extra touch of sweetness.

11. Variation:

    • For a delicious variation, try filling the buns with Blueberry Pie filling instead of lemon. They’re equally delightful and perfect for those who love a burst of fruity flavor!

Enjoy these Lemon Brunch Buns warm from the oven with a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful start to your day or as a sweet treat for any special occasion! 🍋🥐
