Zucchini Buns

Covid 19 has had me wanting comfort food (maybe a little too much!).  My hubby made amazing zucchini buns using his Mom’s recipe and they are to die for! They are delicious eaten as is or as a sandwich (we’ve had chicken, ham, tuna, egg salad).  Either way the bun is the star!

Ingredients: 

• ½ cup cooked mashed zucchini
• ¼ cup sugar
• ¼ cup shortening (butter or oil)
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ cup scalded (warm) milk
• ½ tbsp yeast
• ½ cup warm water
• 2 ½ cups flour

Directions:

• Combine zucchini, sugar, salt, shortening and milk. Heat to warm (ex: in microwave for a minute or so).
• Add yeast and water.
• Add flour to make soft dough.
• Rise to double.
• Knead and shape into buns.
• Let rise again.
• Bake 20 minutes at 375˚
