Ingredients

3 tbsp all-purpose flour (For the tangzhong)
0.5 cup milk (For the tangzhong)
4 cup all-purpose flour (For the dough)
0.25 cup sugar (For the dough)
1 tsp vanilla (For the dough)
1 egg (Large, room temperature)
2.25 tsp instant yeast (1 packet)
1 cup milk (Warm; for the dough)
2 tbsp honey (For the dough)
1 tsp salt (For the dough)
4 tbsp butter (Softened; for the dough)
0.25 cup butter (Softened; for the filling)
4 tbsp honey (For the filling)
salt (Pinch, for the filling)
2 cup powdered sugar (For the glaze)
2 tbsp honey (For the glaze)
2.5 tbsp milk (For the glaze; source gives a range of 2–3 tbsp)
0.5 tsp vanilla (For the glaze)
olive oil (A little, to grease the bowl (mentioned in transcript))

Steps

1
In a small saucepan, whisk together the tangzhong flour and milk. Cook over medium heat, whisking, until it becomes a thick paste. Let it cool before using.
2
In the mixer, combine the dough flour, sugar, vanilla, room-temperature egg, cooled tangzhong, warm milk, instant yeast, and honey. Mix to bring the dough together.
3
Add the softened dough butter one tablespoon at a time, mixing it into the dough as you go.
4
Transfer the dough to a greased bowl. Cover and let it rest for about 1½ hours, until doubled in size.
5
Mix the softened filling butter with the filling honey and a pinch of salt to make honey butter.
6
Shape and press out the risen dough into honey buns, applying the honey-butter spread inside the dough as the filling.
7
Let the shaped buns rest for about 30 minutes.
8
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
9
Bake the buns for 15–18 minutes.
10
Mix the powdered sugar, glaze honey, 2–3 tablespoons milk, and glaze vanilla to make the honey glaze. The transcript describes the glaze as smooth.
11
When the buns are ready, finish them with the honey glaze and serve.

Notes

The description does not state a shaping or filling technique, nor explicitly say when to glaze; those details are not specified. Transcript mentions greasing the bowl with olive oil and adding salt to the dough, which are included. Transcript also mentions butter in the glaze, but gives no quantity; the description's glaze ingredient list does not include butter.
