I'll always remember that familiar smell when I walked through the door after school. Mom had homemade buns in the oven, while others sat cooling on linen cloths she laid out. My personal preference was fresh from the oven. No butter, no jelly--just my tastebuds experiencing one of the greatest blessings in life--Mom's Homemade Buns.
Bake 400°F 15 - 20 min.
Ingredients:
6 C Flour
2 T Yeast (heaping)
or 2 pkg.
1 ½ T salt (heaping)
¼ C milk (optional)
1 C oil
4 C warm water
Procedure:
Mix flour yeast and salt in a large bowl. Clear a center in the mixture and add oil and warm water (& milk). Mix together with dry ingredients.
Knead and add flour to consistency. Cover and let rise in slightly warm oven, approx. 1 hour. (Keep light on in oven for warmth and keep oven off). Put a pan of water in the bottom of the oven while dough is rising. It should double in consistency.
Punch Down and let rise again ½ hour.
Form into buns. Let rise in pans, approximately 1 hour. Bake 1 pan at a time.
I am so glad to have found this place, where we can share our thoughts and feelings and be understood and not condemned.
ReplyDeleteI was married for 35 years to a man who was extremely immature and an alcoholic and womanizer. I married right out of high school and had kids right away another came later. I did everything I knew to do including prayer to help my husband and eventually after being told that he did not have a problem other than me and that he liked to drink and wasn't going to quit I realized he meant it and after my children were grown I divorced him. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do because I know that God hates divorce but I truly believe He does not want to see His children unequally yoked to a person that refuses to follow His teachings. I remarried about 5 years after the divorce and I finally know what love is all about and How if you let God lead you there are wonderful things in store for you. I still have pain and guilt over the divorce but I know in my heart where I am now is just where God wants me to be. Happy and whole again.
