Looking for a quick bun to have with a hearty soup or stew, create a light bacon sandwich, open and topped with a fried egg, stuff with some vegetables and a slice of cheese or just slather in butter, this is your bun. I have posted an easy dinner roll recipe before however this recipe is even easier. I like dill as it adds a subtle savoury herb flavour however, if you prefer not to add the dill then omit it.
Savoury Dinner Buns
----------------------------------------------------------------
1 cup self - raising flour
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 1/2 teaspoons dried dill or fresh dill
1/2 cup milk
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Line a baking tray with baking parchment.
In a large bowl add the flour, cream of tartar and dried dill, then whisk together. Add the milk and mayonnaise and stir until a dough forms.
Tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface, using clean hands that are dry and floured, bring the dough together to form a nice rounded mound. Once nicely formed, gently pat the dough down and use a 3-inch round biscuit cutter, dipped in flour, and cut out as many biscuit shapes you can. Keep reforming, reshaping and cutting the dough until all has been used.
Place them on the prepared baking tray and brush the tops with melted butter and bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until done and golden brown.
Notes: If you do not have self-raising flour then substitute it with 1 cup flour plus 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and 1/4 teaspoon salt. You can also cut the dough into eight pieces and free form each into a round biscuity bun shape.
