- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup honey

Instructions
- Activate the yeast by combining warm milk and sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle yeast over top and let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.

- Arrange shaped buns on greased baking sheets; cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
