For the brioche buns
1

In a cup of warm water, mix sugar and yeast into the warm milk and set aside for 10-15 minutes.

2

Sift the flour and salt. Add butter and rub it into the flour to make crumbs. Add the yeast mixture and eggs.

3

Scrape the dough onto a clean, lightly floured flat surface and start kneading until it is smooth and elastic.

4

Cover the dough with a plastic wrap or a damp cloth and let it rest for an hour or two.

5

Divide the dough into 8 parts and place them 3 cms apart on a baking tray. Cover it again and let it rest for another hour or two.

6

Pre-heat the oven to 400F. Fill water in a baking pan and place in on the floor of the oven. Brush the buns with some milk and bake it for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown.

Combine all the ingredients except the egg and oil. Mix well.

8

Crack the egg in it and bring it all together. Divide this into 8 patties (3 tbsp each) and flatten them. If you feel like it is too wet or breaking apart a bit, coat it with some flour.

9

Freeze the patties for half hour so that they set and it is easier to fry them.

10

Heat the oil and shallow fry the patties. Pat dry with a tissue to remove the excess oil.
