Grandma's Best Ever Buns

This is my Grandma's Bun Recipe and she was known for them. I make them all the time, and with the help of a kitchen aid they are so easy. If you set them by your coffee maker to raise (assuming that you have it on) they will raise very quickly! Makes two 9X13 pans of buns! For just a little extra work...you can use half for buns, and make the other half into cinnamon rolls for the next morning. I will add the instructions for that at the bottom of the Bread Recipe. If the smell and taste of these don't make you feel like Betty ~ Nothing will!
