About

These buns have the perfect burger bun texture: a crispy crust that yields to the soft goodness inside. The molasses gives them a slightly musky flavor and a dark brown color. I’m happy to eat them without anything sandwiched inside. To make these buns vegan, use your favorite unflavored nondairy milk and simply omit the egg. They’ll be a bit less rich but still very good.
