Instructions
-
1
Dissolve 1 tablespoon sugar in warm water in a small bowl; sprinkle yeast over water. The water should be no more than 100 degrees F (40 degrees C). Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
-
2
Combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and potato flakes in a bowl; set aside. Combine buttermilk, 3 tablespoons softened butter, 2 tablespoons sugar, egg, and salt in a separate large bowl; add yeast mixture, then add flour mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring until a soft dough forms. Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 3 minutes.
-
3
Shape dough into a ball, oil surface with vegetable oil, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
-
4
Gently punch down dough; divide into 9 equal pieces. Shape pieces into balls. Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish; place dough balls into the prepared dish so they slightly touch each other. Brush tops with about 1 tablespoon melted butter. Cover dish with plastic wrap; allow dough balls to rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, 30 to 45 minutes. The balls should rise above the top of the dish and crowd each other.

Minnie Mouse Cupcakes
Vanilla Oreo cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. These were a huge hit with the kids and tasted so good. They were so much better than using a packaged cake mix. The cream cheese frosting went really well with the Oreos. As the birthday cake lady, this is now my go-to cream cheese frosting, and I will never buy a box cake mix again.
Chocolate Sour Cream Fudge
This fudge recipe is made with sour cream which gives the candy a pleasant tang. Whenever I sell it at our local Christmas bazaar I never have any left!
