-
Prepare Milk Mixture:
- In a saucepan, scald the milk. Once scalded, pour it over stiffly beaten egg whites in a separate bowl.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Let the Dough Rise:
- Allow the dough to rise until light, covering it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
-
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.
-
Fill with Lemon Filling:
- Fill the holes of each figure eight with lemon flavor instant pudding and pie filling.
-
Second Rise:
- Let the shaped buns rise again for about 30 minutes, until they have doubled in size.
-
Bake:
- Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Bake the buns for 20 minutes or until they are slightly golden in color and cooked through.
-
Finishing Touches:
- Once baked, dust the Lemon Brunch Buns with icing sugar or drizzle them with icing for an extra touch of sweetness.
-
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! ππ₯
