preview for Vanilla Spice Eggnog Buns

Bring holiday flavors to a snowy morning classic with these Vanilla Spice Eggnog Buns. Fresh Shamrock Farms Vanilla Spice Eggnog—a staple in our fridge all holiday season long—is used to boost flavor in both the dough and frosting. (A dusting of snowflake sprinkles would take them even further over the top on a wintry day.)

Bread flour is worth seeking out for this recipe, as it contains more protein than all-purpose flour, creating a better structure and chew that’s ideal for yeasted doughs like this. If you don’t have a stand mixer, you can roll up your sleeves and knead the dough by hand in a large bowl.

To make these the night before, follow the recipe through assembly step 2. The covered baking dish can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours; bring it to room temperature two hours before baking for a morning treat. And tempting as it may be to eat the buns hot from the oven, they must cool to ensure they’re fully cooked with the properly tender, airy texture. Without cooling, they will be gummy and dense.
