TIPS:

  •  I love brushing the buns with a lightly beaten egg. It gives that shiny crust, but you can completely skip this step. You can brush the buns with milk and sugar. Sugar also gives the nice colour to the buns,sprinkling black seeds is also optional. It’s a personal preference.
  •  You can used mash potatoes instead of maida batter for starch,it sound weird to add mashed potatoes to the dough, but in fact, it’s the starch in the potatoes that gives these buns the light, tender, and moist texture. And not only that, but they help the dough rise faster and prevents the bun to go stale.
