5 cups flour
3/4 cups water
3/4 cups milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
5 tsp. active dry yeast
2 eggs
1/2 cup butter (one stick)

Place the flour in a bowl and set to one side.

Heat the milk, water, sugar and salt in a saucepan until warm (not hot). Add the eggs and yeast. Pour on top of the flour, cover and let sit for about 20-30 minutes.

Melt 1/2 cup butter and pour into the bowl. Stir well, and add more flour if sticky. Knead lightly. Cover and let rise 20-30 minutes.

Shape the dough and let rise again 20-30 minutes.

Pinch off pieces of dough about the size of a small egg; place two such pieces in each of the compartments in a muffin tin. Allow to rise one last time.

Bake in a 400 degree (F) oven for 15 minutes. Add butter to the tops of each bun.
