Do you crave homemade baked goods but don’t want to turn on the oven? These fluffy sweet buns „pancito“ are made in a pan, so they’re ready quickly, wonderfully fragrant and soft inside. The recipe uses a few basic ingredients and even a beginner can manage it. Great with coffee, for breakfast or as a sweet snack.

For 12 portions

Ingredients

Preparation procedure

  • Yeast starter Pour the warm milk into a bowl, add the sugar and dry yeast, stir and let stand for 10 minutes until foam forms on the surface.
  • Mixing the dough Stir the egg, salt, orange zest and oil into the activated starter. Gradually work in the flour and knead until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
  • Enriching with butter Add the softened butter and knead for another 2–3 minutes so the butter is fully absorbed and the dough is elastic and smooth.
  • First rise Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for 30 minutes in a warm place.
  • Shaping Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, divide into equal pieces and shape each into a ball. Let them rest under a cloth to rise briefly for 10 minutes.
  • Frying Heat a pan over medium heat with a small amount of oil (just lightly covering the bottom). Gently flatten the balls and fry until golden on both sides, 2–3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel.
  • Finishing While still warm, dust with powdered sugar and serve.

Total preparation time:

  • 20 minutes active work + 40 minutes rising and frying

  • Total: approx. 60 minutes

Servings:

  • 12 pieces

Tips:

  • The dough should be soft – if it’s too stiff, the buns won’t be as fluffy.

  • Change up the flavor by adding a pinch of vanilla, cinnamon or lemon zest.

  • Fry rather more slowly over medium heat so the buns cook through inside.

Conclusion

Pancito without an oven is proof that you don’t need complicated equipment or a lot of time to make fragrant homemade baked goods. Light, tender and with a pleasant citrus note, you’ll fall in love with them right away. Whether with your morning coffee, for a weekend breakfast or as a quick dessert – these buns will disappear from the plate before you can pour a second cup.
