Despite having a seriously ill kitty over the weekend, I still managed to bake, and I chose to make hamburger buns. The recipe came from this month's Gourmet magazine in a feature about making the ultimate burgers and accompaniments all from scratch. The recipe looked simple enough but the high cream and whole milk content is what drew me to it. I was intrigued with how they might turn out using such ingredients.The recipe is here. You can also make your own hot dog buns with this dough.
Man, were these ever fan-fracking-tastic! They are probably the nicest buns I've ever made in my life. The cream and whole milk made them incredibly rich and buttery, and the higher sugar content gave them a nice sweetness. I used a 3 1/2-inch cookie cutter rather than a 3" because I felt that the 3" one would have been too small.
The burgers I made to try my buns out will appear in a future post.

Oh man, they do look fantabulous!! I've never made my own buns, I'll have to try this recipe!
Hope your kitty is better soon! Those buns look delicious!
These look fantastic! Helluva lot better than the sorry Wonder buns. I'll have to give these a try.
Those are gorgeous and so perfect! I bet that's going to be one of the best burgers ever. Hope your kitty is doing better and you caught up on some sleep.

Your Hamburger buns is worth trying. They look delicious.
Holy crap those look good. I'm getting that recipe right now.
Hope Juno is feeling better. Glad you decided to keep him indoors, too. :)
They do look wonderful, I haven't cracked open this month's Gourmet yet. My mag stack is growing... I will definitely make them soon.
I make burger buns a lot, I'm looking forward to trying this recipe. Thanks for posting.
I only got to this blog cause I googled "see Coyote's buns" hahahaha. Kidding. Love the moody photo of the dough cutting, WC, tres artistic. The buns look amazing.
I love homemade buns, they're so much better than store bought!
You actually made buns...wow! Like I said before, my recipe folder is growing but I am starting my own Coyote file...you have so many good ones.
Glad to hear Juno is improving. I'm sorry I had not seen the posts before today :-(
MAn, these look great. You should never buy another bun again.
Ok, these are motivation to bake. Can't wait for the burger recipe. I just love a great burger.
I'm so glad you tried this recipe because I want to try it and was looking for reviews!!! They look fabulous!
