Notes about this recipe

    Excellent buns. However, I made a big mess making these buns. The recipe makes 24 buns, too much dough for the stand mixer, so he had you make a well with the dry ingredients and mix the wet ingredients in the well and then slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet. But my well dam broke and the wet ingredients escaped before being mixed and I added an extra quarter cup of shortening in the chaos, luckily that did not affect the end result adversely. Next time, I will mix the wet ingredients in a bowl then add the dry to the bowl. I filled the buns with the filling suggested for the variation, but I did not top the buns with sesame seeds nor flaked coconut, I topped them with the cookie dough topping from the original recipe.
