Golden Coins Mini Buns

This is the first time I'm doing hand knead buns and I'm very happy with the outcome result. This is a small amount recipe so it easier to do it by hand and achieve elastic dough in shorter time. The texture of the buns is very soft. This recipe confirm is a keeper for me. Thumbs up.;p
