Cheesy Onion Buns

Directions

Combine yeast and 1 cup flour in a medium mixing bowl; set aside.

Combine cheese spread, water, shortening, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan; heat to 105 degrees to 115 degrees, stirring constantly.

Add cheese mixture, egg, and onion to yeast mixture; beat ½ minute at low speed of an electric mixer, scraping sides of bowl.

Beat 3 minutes at high speed.

Stir in remaining 1 cup flour. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead 1 to 2 minutes.

Shape dough into 12 balls.

Place in well-greased muffin pans.

Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees), free from drafts, 1½ hours or until doubled in bulk.

Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃) F for 30 to 35 minutes or until lightly browned.

Cool for a few minutes in pans on wire rack.

Remove from pans onto wire rack, and serve warm or at room temperature.
