I know bun is more dense than cake thank you I am going to try using 1/2 teaspoon baking SODA and see how it works

[@TheIslandNutritionist]

That’s a good substitution, I may try this myself! I’m intrigued…please let me know how this turns out! 🤩

[@TheIslandNutritionist]

Back to report that this turned out 🔥 with the baking soda. Updated the recipe. Thank you! Happy Easter

[@monicaphillips2730]

@@TheIslandNutritionist Wonderful happy to hear 👍

[@pastryshack551]

It needed the baking powder, it will taste ok but it looked dry on top. Try it with BP next time you will see the difference

[@monicaphillips2730]

This bun looks very easy but I am concerned about the amount of baking powder 3 cups of flour and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder 🤔

[@TheIslandNutritionist]

Hi! To be honest, I played around with different measurements of baking powder and found this to be a consistency i prefer. Bun is a bit more dense than a cake for example so it will not need as much of a leavening agent. You can add 1/2 tsp more and see if it works for you. Let me know how it turns out 😃

[@pastryshack551]

Your recipe says 3 eggs, you say 2, there is no yeast, so you should use baking powder, because soda will not give it the necessary rise

[@TheIslandNutritionist]

Hi! I just made this again today as i aim to perfect the recipe, i used 3 eggs and the baking soda- I will try it with powder again next time i do it! Thank you! ❤️

[@pastryshack551]

@@TheIslandNutritionist thanks, the recipe looks good, but I will add BP to mine I find it gives it a softer feel. Take care

[@TheIslandNutritionist]

@@pastryshack551 Thanks for the feedback, take care!

@@pastryshack551 tried this again with both and it was 🔥. Updated recipe coming. Thanks fren! ❤
