I have made these at least 50 times since I found your channel. They are serious eats!

I love the towel! And I only trust a cook who says his food doesn't last very long.

I'm so happy that you gave us the recipe in cups and tbsp and normal measurements. Easier to follow.

My dear KLJ, making these rolls tonight for a service guy who installs my new oven tomorrow (for his family). Thank you so much for this delectable recipe!

My friend, I just made another pan of these leaving out the milk powder! They puffed up massively. I ate one immediately out of the pan. Absolutely ethereal! I thank you forever!

Hi Kevin..i made these 3 times already. My husband loves these 'buns'. Thank you.

[Phyllyps-Levine]

I have made these 4 times since I discovered your video 2 weeks ago! Today I am making a load bread instead of buns.

Hey to your Tiger, from my cat Tiger! Be safe and thank you again!

This recipe is phenomenal! The rolls were an absolute hit at my early Thanksgiving yesterday. I didn't have plain sesame seeds so I added a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning and it was pretty tasty. I just about had to beat my husband to make sure he didn't eat them all before our guests came 🤣 So glad I found it and I can't wait to browse your channel and try out more recipes!

Happy Thanksgiving!

[Phyllyps-Levine]

You’re adorbs! Just made these again! 5 Star delicious and I thank you forever for sharing this recipe.

Making these for Thanksgiving 2022! I add 1/2 tsp of vanilla and nutmeg. THE BEST RECIPE EVER!!!

[Phyllyps-Levine]

These were incredible! Thank you again! Tender, delicate and irresistible! I made hamburger shaped buns with mine and my husband said ALWAYS make them like this from now on! Thanks again. Hey to Tiger!

[Phyllyps-Levine]

Made these today using sour cream instead of milk. Also, used bread flour. Left out dry milk. They were lovely.

[Phyllyps-Levine]

Made these again my friend! This time I used evaporated milk, added a little nutmeg and 1/4 cup sugar instead of 1/3.

Also used Kerry Gold butter and then brushed with honey & Kerry Gold!

You have to try my additions! SUPERB!

Thank you for your video. I am a new baker and your video was so helpful with my first attempt at milk buns. I love your explanations. Thank you so much!!

[nancysciulli]

Made these today. The Tangzhon makes all the difference. They're heavenly!
Thank you Kevin for your recipe and guidance.

[Phyllyps-Levine]

Cannot wait to make this either!!! Thumbs up and SUBSCRIBED!!!!😽

[Phyllyps-Levine]

My neighbor Melania T and I made these together today. I made Swedish Meat Pies out of my batch. This is the best recipe ever!

[MelaniaT-rm]

Every time my neighbor and I make these rolls, we let the video play all the way through for additional Thanks and Views to Kevin!

[kathleenpalmer]

Looks wonderful! I will try the recipe soon.

[Phyllyps-Levine]

Hey Kevin Lee Jacob fans...if you add another 2 tbsps of sugar and 12 grinds of fresh nutmeg to this recipe it is awesome! Also, I let it rise 2 hours the first rise and 1 hour the second rise in a bread loaf pan. Makes absolutely superb everyday loaf bread! Cost $.75 per loaf!

Thank you KEVIN LEE JACOBS!!!
