About Butter sugar bun

Butter sugar bun is a sweet pastry originating in European and Asian cuisines, often enjoyed as a snack or dessert. It is made from enriched dough, containing butter, sugar, and flour, along with yeast for leavening. The bun is typically soft and fluffy with a caramelized sugar topping, giving it a satisfyingly sweet flavor. While butter sugar buns are high in carbohydrates, they provide energy primarily from sugar and refined flour. They also contain fats due to butter, contributing to their rich texture, but they are low in protein and dietary fiber, making them a treat rather than a nutritional staple.
