1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

Tips
For a sweeter bun, add an extra tablespoon of sugar to the dough.
For a more savory bun, add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the dough.
If you don't have any active dry yeast, you can use instant yeast instead. Just follow the instructions on the package.
If you don't have any unsalted butter, you can use salted butter instead. Just be sure to reduce the amount of salt you add to the dough.
Let the buns cool completely before filling them. This will help prevent the filling from making the buns soggy.

Conclusion

Flower buns are a delicious and beautiful addition to any meal. They're easy to make and can be filled with a variety of different ingredients. With a little practice, you'll be able to make flower buns that are sure to impress your family and friends.
