Instructions
Creating Easy Molasses Buns can be a fun and enjoyable process. Follow these steps to achieve perfect results:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and melted butter until well combined.
3. Add the molasses and buttermilk to the mixture, stirring until smooth. Then, mix in the egg until fully incorporated.
4. In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the buns soft.
6. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are firm and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Once baked, allow the buns to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
By following these simple steps, you’ll create perfectly soft and chewy Easy Molasses Buns each time!
