Well, I could not wait for the pan because it was listed as "out of stock" so I made the buns anyways in a 9" x 13" pan. It was a disaster so I made the buns again the next day. Another disaster! The dough did not rise either time. I was so discouaged. A few weeks later, my husband decided that he would try the recipe. By this time we had the pan. The buns were very good but they were dense. They really weren't as light and fluffy as I expected. What are we doing wrong? By the way, the pictures in the directions are great as I am a visual learner. We did cut the buns correctly thanks to the pictures.
If the buns are coming out heavy, it's probably too much flour in the dough. Be sure to fluff up your flour and sprinkle it into the cup then level off. Scooping the flour will pack too much in, and cause a dry dough and dry, heavy baked goods. Hope this helps. ~ MaryJane
