HOMESICK CHEESE BUNS

MAKES TWO DOZEN MUFFINS

These cheese buns reminded Katniss of home, of family and of Peeta. When Peeta discovered they were her favorites, he made sure she got some.

For a change of flavor, you can vary the cheese you use in this recipe. Muenster, provolone and Colby all work well.
