Notes

The key to these fabulous soft burger buns is to use a minimal amount of butter that’s cold and rubbed into the flour (and salt). Then the water, yeast and sugar mixture (with 1 egg) is added into this flour mixture.
The dough is kneaded in a machine or by hand for just a few minutes. Another key here is to keep the dough a little sticky. It should not stick to the surface or your hands, but when you dig your finger inside, it should stick.
