Mix 2 cups flour, 3 tbsp flour, 3 tbsp sugar, and 1 tsp salt in a large bowl.

Add 1/2 cup milk, 2 tbsp milk, and 2 tsp active dry yeast, stirring until combined.

Incorporate 1/3 stick melted butter and 1 egg, mixing until smooth.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until elastic.

Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size.

Punch down the dough and shape it into small balls.

Place the balls on a greased baking tray, leaving space between them.

Cover the tray with a cloth and let the buns rise for another 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Bake until golden brown.

Remove the buns and let them cool slightly.
