Light As Air Buns image

This was handed down from my mother, she made these many times and would usually just make a few batches at a time and freeze them. My brother loved them so much that for his birthday he would request them over cake. Of course he always got his way!

These buns are okay. They're not the best I've ever had, but they're not bad either.

I've tried this recipe several times and I can never seem to get the buns to turn out right. They always end up being too dense or too dry.

I'm not a huge fan of these buns. They're a bit too dense for my taste.

These buns are a bit time-consuming to make, but they're definitely worth it. They're so much better than store-bought buns.

I was a bit skeptical about how these buns would turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised. They're really light and fluffy, and they have a great flavor.

I've made these buns several times now and they always turn out great. They're the perfect size for sandwiches or burgers.

These buns are so light and fluffy! I made them for my family last weekend and they were a huge hit. The recipe was easy to follow and the buns turned out perfectly.
