My cousin Cloey keeps a supply of these buns in plastic bags in her freezer to give to grandkids when they come to visit. Fortunately, she usually has these on hand when we visit them at Circle.

Soften:
2 packages of dry yeast in
1 cup warm water

Combine and cool to luke warm:
1 cup hot water
1 cup All Bran

In a mixing bowl mix:
½ cup sugar
1 cup shortening
1½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs
the Bran mixture
the yeast mixture
3 cups white flour

Mix for a couple of minutes with the mixer.

Then stir in with a spoon:
3 additional cups of white flour

Let the dough raise in the same bowl until it has doubled.
No kneading! Then make the buns.
I rolled the dough out and cut the buns with a glass.
Cloey pinches off dough and makes it into buns.

When I asked her about this she said, “it all tastes the same.”

Let the buns rise again until double, probably an hour, then bake at 375 until nicely browned.
