Combine approx 2/3 of the flour with sugar, salt and yeast in your mixer with your dough hook.
Heat milk, butter and water till warm and butter melted.
Can use the microwave, just don't over heat the ingredients, tepid is what you're after.
Add warmed liquid and egg to the mixed flour bowl.
Beat with mixer on low for 3 minutes, slowly adding the rest of flour to form a stiff batter.
Cover loosely and let rise approx 30 minutes.
Grease muffin pans (no paper liners the dough will stick).
Stir down batter to remove bubbles. Fill muffin tins 2/3 full.
Cover loosely and let rise until doubled again. About 25-30 minutes.
Bake at 200*C for 15-20 minutes or until golden.
Tap on top for a hollow sound.
Turn out onto a wire rack to cool. Lovely eaten fresh with butter.
Notes
Can freeze these when cool.The original recipe had 6 tablespoons of sugar, for us 3 tablespoons is enough.I spray oil plastic wrap to loosely lay over top while rising.You can add sultanas or raisins with spices to the dough mix. * Make half plain half with fruit.You could leave out all but 1 teaspoon of sugar and add herbs for a savoury dinner roll.You can ice the cooked bun.Original recipe found at alicias recipes, my photo is used.
