Whisk warm water with ⅓ of all sugar and add dry yeast. Whisk again and set aside for 5 minutes.

Step 1
Add the rest of the sugar, buttermilk, eggs and melted butter into the yeast solution. Whisk until sugar dissolves.

Roll out the dough into a large rectangle.

Step 4
Use a cookie cutter to cut the dough into circles.

Step 5
Use a smaller round cutter to cut out the middle of half of the dough circles.

Step 6
Spray some water on the whole round, and place circles with the hole in the middle on top.

Step 7
Press slightly. Set aside for 15 minutes.

Step 8
