Hamburger Bun: ...um...we're out?!

Not wanting to head to the store, I remembered seeing on onefrugalfoodie.com a tasty looking recipe for homemade hamburger buns that were super fast to make.

I followed this recipe but halved it and used only whole wheat flour. I also dusted the tops of the buns with flour before putting them in the oven to bake.

My family absolutely loved them! They were super easy to make, tasted great, and are significantly less expensive than their store bought cousins.
