i am going to make these buns later today. I don't have any honey on hand so i am going to substitute molasses. i will let you know how it goes.....so I mixed up the buns on my lunch break, let them rise until 5pm, went out for dinner, came home and threw them in the oven to bake.  I baked them until they were golden brown and tested them - about 12 minutes - still a little doughy,,,,baked them another 10 minutes - I think they are ok but will have to remember for next time.... maybe ill make them a little bit smaller next time and be more careful about checking them before I turnoff the oven.

Okay
