Step 1
Mix flour, yeast, and 3 tbsp sugar in a bowl. Add warm milk and egg, stir until shaggy dough forms.
Step 2
Knead the dough by hand for 2 minutes until smooth. It should feel soft and slightly sticky.
Step 3
Divide dough into 8 balls. Arrange in a buttered 10-inch cast-iron skillet, leaving small gaps between each.
Step 4
Dot buns with 2 tbsp butter, cut into small pieces. Bake at 425°F for 12–14 minutes until golden brown.
Step 5
While buns bake, whisk milk, yolks, and 3 tbsp sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly.
Step 6
When sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 6 minutes), remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
Step 7
Pour warm vanilla sauce over hot buns immediately after they come out of the oven. Serve while steaming.
