The recipe is great and the blogs are even better. I increased the recipe by 50% because I have 9" pans and par baked them for 18 minutes the night before Thanksgiving. I finished baking them at 350 for 15 minutes and the tops browned, but not the bottom or the sides. I used a heavy duty cake pan with 2' sides, the temp of the center bun reached 165 before I lost access to the oven. Still tasted good. Do have any Ideas on what I can do to get the sides and bottom to brown properly? I am going to give it another whirl tomorrow.
Larry, maybe you should put them more towards the top of the oven. I bake mine in the middle at least (not towards the bottom), and often more towards the top. If you find them browning too quickly, just lay a sheet of foil across the top; that'll slow the tops form browning while the bottom/sides catch up. PJH
