LEMON BUNS

Steps:

• ---Manual/MixerMethod---.
• Combine all of the dough ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir to form a cohesive dough.
• Knead the dough, by hand (on a lightly oiled work surface) or machine, for 5 to 8 minutes, until it's smooth, soft and supple; avoid adding too much flour, as this will make the buns tough and dry.
• Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and allow the dough to rise for about 1 1/2 hours, or until it's puffy, though it may not have doubled in bulk.
• ---BreadMachine Method---.
• Place all of the dough ingredients into the pan of your machine, program the machine for Manual or Dough, and press Start.
• When the machine has completed its cycle, set a timer for 30 minutes, and allow the dough to continue to rise; it may crest the top of the bucket, but shouldn't overflow.
• Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled work surface, and divide it into 20 pieces.
• Allow the pieces to rest, covered, for 10 minutes.
• Round the dough into balls, and place them in two lightly greased 9-inch round cake pans.
• Cover the pans, and allow the buns to rise for about 1 hour, or until they're nice and puffy and have filled the pan.
• While the buns are rising, combine the glaze ingredients, and set aside.
• Brush the buns lightly with half of the glaze.
• Bake them in a preheated 375°F oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until they're golden brown.
• Remove the buns from the oven, and brush them with the remaining glaze.
• Transfer them to a wire rack to cool.

LEMON BUNS

Steps:

• Prepare pudding mix according to package directions; cover and refrigerate. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and 2 teaspoons sugar in warm water; let stand for 5 minutes. In a bowl, beat egg yolks and remaining sugar until thickened. Add the yeast mixture, milk, butter, salt, egg whites and 4 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 36 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheet. With thumb, make a large indentation in center of each ball; stretch to 3-1/2 in. in diameter. Place about 2 teaspoons of pudding in each indentation. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks. For glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar, lemon juice and enough milk to achieve desired consistency. Drizzle over warm buns.
