There is a bakery in Louisville Kentucky Plehn’s Bakery that sells butter buns. Anyone have a copycat recipe
4 1/2 tsp dry yeast
1/3 cup warm water
1/4 cup each of sugar, and butter
2 tsp salt
1 cup scalded milk
2 eggs, beaten
4 1/2 - 5 cups flour
Place the yeast in a small bowl and add the warm water.
In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer combine the sugar, butter, salt, and hot milk. Stir to combine and let cool to lukewarm.
Stir the eggs and the yeast into the sugar mixture.
Gradually add the flour, beating well after each addition.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and satiny, about 5 minutes.
Place the dough in a large lightly greased bowl and cover with a tea towel.
Place in a warm spot and let rise until doubled in volume, about an hour.
Form into 15 balls and place them on a greased 11" pan.
Allow the dough to rise again for 1 hour.
Bake for 12-15 minutes at 350 degrees F until golden brown.
