Set your stove at about 120 degree centigrade and heat the pan for about 5 to ten minutes. Toast both sides of each bun once the pan is heated to the required temperature. You may also choose to toast two to three buns at once depending on the size of your frying pan.
Flip the buns frequently to ensure they do not burn. Remove buns from the pan when they are toasted to your satisfaction. Place them open faced on a dish or a tray and allow to cool for 3 to 4 minutes. -
