Add the yeast mixture, water, and melted butter or margarine to the flour mixture; mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into small balls.

Shape each ball into an elongated bun and sprinkle with sugar.

Bake the buns until golden brown.
