How To Bake
For that next picnic or family outing, consider making your own hamburger buns. They're easy and so much better than what you buy from the stores. And if you really want to impress your family or friends, bake them at the party. (Mix the dough at home and take it to the park. We’ll tell you how.)
Take any bread mix. Mix the bread according to the package directions or recipe. If you are using your bread machine, set the machine on the “dough” setting so that the machine will mix your bread for you, let it rise and then beep when it is time to bake. If you are making bread the old-fashioned way, let the bread rise in an oiled bowl as you would for other bread recipes.
It doesn't have to be plain, white cake. I love the combination of crispy shortcake against succulent strawberries against soft whipped cream. And here's a shortcut for shortcakes that makes them easy:
To make the shortcakes, simply take a buttermilk biscuit mix and add two tablespoons of granulated sugar to the mix. Shortcakes are not supposed to be really sweet. Two tablespoons of granulated sugar for eight biscuits will do.

They've never had burgers like these before. They've never seen burgers like these. And they taste even better than they look. These burgers will blow them away.
If you have a bread mix in your pantry, you can easily convert that into homemade hamburger buns. Here's how.
