- Flour - Try it out using different types of flour. I use all purpose flour.

You will need for this recipe:
- Mixer - I use my Kitchenaid Mixer

- ¼ cup butter 🧈
- 2 teaspoon heaping teaspoons Instant Yeast
- 1 teaspoon teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 4 cups (3 ½ - 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour)
- 1 egg 🥚
Instructions
- Mix warm water, sugar, and instant yeast in a bowl. Let it chill together for 5-10 minutes—let the yeast do its bubbly thing! 🌊
- Warm up that milk for 90 seconds.
- Stir in the butter, honey, and salt to the warm milk. It’ll smell like heaven already!
- Once the milk mixture cools down a bit, pour it into the yeast mixture and crack in that egg. Time to mix!
- Add 1½ cups of flour and get your mixer going—let’s make some magic happen. ✨
- Toss in another cup of flour and mix again. It’s getting doughy!
- Add the last cup or so of flour and give it one last mix—BOOM, dough!
- Cover that dough baby and let it nap for 45 minutes to an hour.
- Now, divide the dough into 12-16 equal parts. Roll ‘em into little dough balls, one at a time, while covering the rest so they don’t dry out.
- Preheat a pan—NO oil needed—and cook each dough ball for 20-30 seconds on each side until they’re golden and perfect. Flip ‘em like a pancake pro! 🥞
