These pan dulces are Mexican sweet buns, great to make during the winter time, especially for Christmas. People love the sugar topping that browns when they bake.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1 , .25 ounce
  • 0.33 cups white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 5 cups all-purpose flour
  • cooking spray
  • 0.5 cups white sugar
  • 0.67 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons butter , softened
  • 2 eggs yolks

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Add butter, stir until melted, and pour into a large bowl to cool.

  2. 2

    Dissolve yeast in the milk mixture. Mix in 1/3 cup sugar and salt. Add in eggs and 2 cups flour. Stir in remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and supple, about 8 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.

  3. 3

    Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces and form into rounds. With a rolling pin, roll the rounds into oval buns. Place them onto two lightly greased baking sheets. Cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  5. 5

    While the bread rises, make the topping: In a small bowl, stir together 1/2 cup sugar, 2/3 cup flour, and butter until a crumb mixture forms. Stir in egg yolks until well blended. Crumble the topping over the rolls so the entire surface is covered.

  6. 6

    Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until sugar topping is lightly browned.
