  * 1 qt. whole milk
  * 1 c. plus a pinch sugar
  * 3 tsp. salt
  * 1 c. neutral vegetable oil (canola or safflower)
  * 3 large eggs, beaten
  * 9–11 c. cake flour
  * ¼ c. lukewarm water (110–115°F) 
  * ½ oz. (2 packages) active dry yeast

===== Preparation =====
  * In a pre-warmed bowl or mug, sprinkle the yeast on lukewarm water; add a pinch of sugar and let proof.
  * Scald the milk, then add the sugar, oil, and salt.
  * Add the proofed yeast and then the beaten eggs to the milk mixture.
  * Slowly add the flour and gradually knead the mixture by hand until it becomes a very sticky dough; the amount of flour will vary widely depending on environmental factors.
  * Cover the dough and let it rise until doubled.
  * Oil your hands, then punch down the down and shape into buns, roughly golf-ball sized.
  * Place buns on baking sheets, cover, and again let rise until doubled.
  * Bake at 350°F for 10–15 minutes per sheet.
  * Each batch should make between 30 and 40 buns.
