Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I always like to warm my milk slightly—just enough to make it cozy, without scalding it. Then, in a large mixing bowl, I combine the warm milk, yeast, and a tablespoon of granulated sugar. This creates a lovely frothy mixture that signals the yeast is ready to work its magic. After letting it sit for about 5-10 minutes, I add the melted butter, the rest of the sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. I then whisk this mixture until smooth and creamy. Don’t you just love that moment when everything blends together beautifully? (See the next page below to continue steps…)
